- Line 61: Update ServiceLauncher’s telecom eligibility flow to pass its
injected client to both TelecomPermissions.optedForTelecom() and
TelecomHelper.canUseJetpackTelecom(), rather than relying on
StreamVideo.instanceOrNull(). Add a regression test using a client that is not
registered as the singleton, verifying Telecom remains eligible for that
configured client.
- Around line 256-258: Update the stop-service logging around the service-intent
construction to remove call.cid and avoid logging all intent extras; retain only
safe metadata such as the component class, and wrap any verbose diagnostic
logging in the existing development-mode guard.

This keeps the signature but not the override contract. getRingingCallNotification now calls getIncomingCallNotificationInternal, so a subclass overriding getIncomingCallNotification compiles clean, gets no warning, and silently stops being called.
StreamNotificationProviderWithPayload.getIncomingCallNotification still documents itself as "Customize the notification when you receive a push notification for ringing call with type RingingState.Incoming" — so the interface advertises a hook the SDK no longer invokes. Anyone who followed that KDoc loses their incoming-call customization on upgrade, with nothing in the build output to tell them.
Can we add @Deprecated on the interface declaration pointing at StreamNotificationBuilderInterceptor.onBuildIncomingCallNotification, and drop the "for compatibility" wording here? Removing it in v2 is fine — shipping it inert while the docs still recommend it is the part I'd like to avoid.

This commit cfe3128 updates the notification flow so that the issue described above will no longer occur.
We introduced a new public open method in StreamDefaultNotificationHandler:
getNotificationOwnedIncomingCallNotification(StreamCallId, RingingState...)
This method is invoked when the ringtone is owned by the notification.
The reason for introducing a separate method is that this flow needs to carry the StreamCallId, which is required by the notification-owned ringtone implementation.
The updated flow is:
override fun getRingingCallNotification(
ringingState: RingingState,
callId: StreamCallId,
callDisplayName: String?,
shouldHaveContentIntent: Boolean,
payload: Map<String, Any?>,
): Notification? {
if (ringtoneOwner == IncomingRingtoneOwner.Legacy) {
getIncomingCallNotification( //existing method
....
)
} else {
getNotificationOwnedIncomingCallNotification( //new method
callId,
ringingState,...
)
}
} else {
}

Three distinct failures funnel into one message. When this fires, :130 logs "Telecom unavailable; falling back to CallService" and there is no way to tell whether it was canUseTelecom (config or permission), canUseJetpackTelecom (device/OS support), or the missing notification permission.
That matters more once the shipped position is that Telecom is required for ringing audio on Android 17: every "no sound on 17" report starts by asking which gate closed, and the log cannot answer it.
I hit this on device today — with enableTelecom = false on a Pixel 7 running Android 17, the fallback fired and the log gave exactly that one line. I had to read the source to know which condition tripped.
Could each condition log its own logger.w before falling back, naming the gate? Three one-line branches would make this self-diagnosing.

Okay.
We will log for every case in which we cannot proceed with Telecom

override fun showIncomingCall(request: IncomingCallRequest) {

}
if (!hasNotificationPermission()) {
fallbackToCallService(request, "POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission is not granted.")
return
}
private fun fallbackToCallService(request: IncomingCallRequest, reason: String) {
logger.w { "[showIncomingCall] Cannot use Telecom: $reason Falling back to CallService." }
fallbackCoordinator.showIncomingCall(request)

Goal
Closes: #AND-1490
Restore background incoming-call ringing on Android 17.
Problem
On Android 17, the incoming-call ringtone may be muted when the app is in the background.
Root cause
Android 17 introduces stricter background audio playback rules. Playing an incoming-call ringtone directly through
MediaPlayerorRingtonefromCallServiceis no longer reliable when the app is in the background.Existing flow
For an incoming call, the SDK currently:
CallService.CallSoundAndVibrationPlayerto play the ringtone and vibration.In this flow,
CallServiceowns the ringtone.Proposed solution
On Android 17, the SDK will try to register the incoming call with Telecom before presenting it.
When Telecom registration succeeds:
USAGE_NOTIFICATION_RINGTONE.FLAG_INSISTENTkeeps the notification ringtone playing until the call is accepted, rejected, or otherwise ends.CallServicedoes not play the legacy incoming-call ringtone.If Telecom cannot be used or registration fails, the SDK falls back to the existing
CallServiceflow.The behavior before Android 17 remains unchanged.
Supporting changes
Compatibility considerations
MutedRingingConfig.playIncomingSoundIfMuteddoes not apply when the notification owns the ringtone. Notification-channel sound cannot bypass the user’s silent-mode or channel settings.Implementation
Android-version-specific incoming-call flow
Incoming-call handling is now split between two coordinators:
PreAndroid17IncomingCallCoordinatorpreserves the existingCallServiceflow.Android17IncomingCallCoordinatorattempts to register the incoming call with Telecom before creating and posting the notification.On Android 17 and above:
CallServicedoes not start its legacy ringtone observers for Telecom-backed calls.CallServiceflow.Pre-Android 17 behavior remains unchanged.
Telecom lifecycle
registerAppWithTelecom()is performed once for that instance.CallsManagercreation and Telecom registration are avoided.CallServicedo not both own the same responsibilities.TelecomNotificationUpdateObserverfor notification updates.Notification-owned ringing
Android 17 uses new incoming-call notification channel IDs. These channels are configured on first creation with:
AudioAttributes.USAGE_NOTIFICATION_RINGTONE.While the incoming call is unanswered, the notification uses
FLAG_INSISTENTso Android continues playing the ringtone. When the call is accepted, the flag is removed andFLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCEis applied.Because notification-channel sound and vibration settings are persistent and cannot be replaced after channel creation, Android 17 uses new channel IDs instead of modifying the existing channels.
Notification update stability
Incoming-call notifications can receive an update shortly after they are initially posted. Replacing an actively ringing notification too quickly can interrupt its ringtone.
The following safeguards were added for Android 17 incoming calls:
CallService ownership
CallServicechecks the selected service route before installing its observers.CallSoundAndVibrationPlayeris not used for notification-owned incoming-call ringing.API compatibility
Testing
Unit tests
Added or updated tests for:
CallsManagerand Telecom registration lifecycle.CallSoundAndVibrationPlayer.FLAG_INSISTENTwhile the call is unanswered.Manual validation
Validated the Android 17 flow on an Android 17 emulator:
Also validated that an emulator-specific failure did not reproduce on a second Android 17 emulator.
Current automation limitation
The existing incoming-call E2E tests depend on push delivery, which is not reliable in CI. In addition, CI emulators currently run with audio disabled, so they cannot verify that sound physically plays.
The deterministic routing, ownership, channel configuration, update, and cleanup behavior is therefore covered by unit tests. Actual ringtone playback is validated manually on Android 17.
