As @Saurabh said, the new way to screen calls is through the CallScreeningService. However, for the service to work on Android Q and up, the user needs to set your app as the default caller ID & spam app (which is done by using the new RoleManager class)

1. Register your screening service:

2. Create you service class:

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
    class ScreeningService : CallScreeningService() {
   
        override fun onScreenCall(details: Details) {
            //code here
        }
   
    }
   

3. Request the screening role from the user in your main activity (or where ever you see as fit):

    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.Q)
    private fun requestScreeningRole(){
        val roleManager = getSystemService(Context.ROLE_SERVICE) as RoleManager
        val isHeld = roleManager.isRoleHeld(RoleManager.ROLE_CALL_SCREENING)
        if(!isHeld){
            //ask the user to set your app as the default screening app
            val intent = roleManager.createRequestRoleIntent(RoleManager.ROLE_CALL_SCREENING)
            startActivityForResult(intent, 123)
        } else {
            //you are already the default screening app!
        }
    }
   

4. Catch the user's response:

    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
            when (requestCode) {
                123 -> {
                    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                        //The user set you as the default screening app!
                    } else {
                        //the user didn't set you as the default screening app...
                    }
                }
                else -> {}
            }
        }
   

Apologies for using a hard coded request code >.<
