Answer 1

Add this to your manifest:

<activity> 
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ANSWER" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>  
</activity>

Answer 2

You are getting a ClassCastException because your manifest defines MyPhoneBroadcastReceiver as a receiver, not an activity. You don't need an activity to create the intent, since it takes a Context, and one is provided with onReceive(). Have it extend BroadcastReceiver and alter the intent slightly like this:

public class MyPhoneBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
            Intent main_intent = new Intent(context, CallActivity.class);
            context.startActivity(main_intent);
    }
}

Ok, in order to make my new page in the front i need to make it sleep for a while... so the new code will be:

public class MyPhoneBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {


        Thread pageTimer = new Thread(){
            public void run(){
                try{
                    sleep(1000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } finally {
                    Intent i = new Intent();
                    i.setClass(context, Call.class);
                    i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    context.startActivity(i);
                }
            }
        };
        pageTimer.start();
    }
}

But - the original incoming call program is still running in the background...

Is there any way to replace it instead opening new app ontop of it?

Thanks!
