Figuring out if the call is still in progress is pretty straight forward. You can either:

• Monitor the logcat for the phone state

• Write a bit of code to register for phone state http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/PhoneStateListener.html

Figuring out if the number called is currently busy is a totally different scope since you now have to deal with network specific implementation (cdma is wildly different than gsm). On CDMA it is almost impossible to figure it out.
