Here's what I use to do this:
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>
<!--This part is inside the application-->
    <receiver android:name=".CallReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
My base reusable call detector

        }
        switch (state) {
            case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                isIncoming = true;
                callStartTime = new Date();

                if(lastState != TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING){

                break;
            case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
                //Went to idle-  this is the end of a call.  What type depends on previous state(s)
                if(lastState == TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING){
                    //Ring but no pickup-  a miss
                    onMissedCall(context, savedNumber, callStartTime);
                }
                else if(isIncoming){
                    onIncomingCallEnded(context, savedNumber, callStartTime, new Date());                       
                }
                else{
                    onOutgoingCallEnded(context, savedNumber, callStartTime, new Date());                                               
                }
                break;
        }
        lastState = state;
    }
}
Then to use it, simply derive a class from it and implement a few easy functions, whichever call types you care about:
public class CallReceiver extends PhonecallReceiver {
    @Override
    protected void onIncomingCallReceived(Context ctx, String number, Date start)
    {
        //
    }
    @Override
    protected void onIncomingCallAnswered(Context ctx, String number, Date start)
    {
        //
    }
    @Override
    protected void onIncomingCallEnded(Context ctx, String number, Date start, Date end)
    {
        //
    }
    @Override
    protected void onOutgoingCallStarted(Context ctx, String number, Date start)
    {
        //
    } 
    @Override 
    protected void onOutgoingCallEnded(Context ctx, String number, Date start, Date end)
    {
        //
    }
    @Override
    protected void onMissedCall(Context ctx, String number, Date start)
    {
        //
    }
}
In addition you can see a writeup I did on why the code is like it is on my blog. Gist link: https://gist.github.com/ftvs/e61ccb039f511eb288ee
EDIT:  Updated to simpler code, as I've reworked the class for my own use
