Read numbers from the PHONE_STATE intent action android 9 Not working

Question

I was trying to retrieve the phone number from intent extra through onrecieve() method for the following broadcast receiver registered in manifest file.

  <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
        </intent-filter>

I can successfully able to read the phone number for all the version except android pie upgraded in my pixel 2 device. According to the documentation, app requires additional permission for reading phone number which are READ_CALL_LOG permission and the READ_PHONE_STATE permission but even after allowing these permission I still get missing permission for READ_CALL_LOG therefore I couldn't able to read the phone number. Please help me in resolving this issue.

Answer 1

Make sure you grant READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_CALL_LOG permissions at runtime in Android 6.0+:

Also, note that after granting these two permissions, you will receive ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED broadcast intent action twice; one with the EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER populated with the phone number, and another with it blank.
