The stack trace seems to indicate that your permissions flow is working ok, but the call to startActivity from onRequestPermissionsResult() is crashing. Is the Intent you're passing to startActivity set correctly? I can't see it being set in that part of the code.

Note also that ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission handles the SDK version checking on your behalf, so you should be able to use

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CALL_PHONE},REQUEST_PHONE_CALL);
}
else
{
    startActivity(intent);
}

by itself, without the wrapping SDK version check code.
