Phase 1 of FLU-709

🎯 Goal

Make ringing Android 17 compatible

🛠 Implementation details

This fixes the ringtone management of the ringing call.

🧪 Testing

You can test with:

adb shell cmd audio set-enable-hardening enable

then ring an incoming call with the app backgrounded on an Android 17 emulator and check adb logcat | grep AudioHardening.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved incoming call ringtone playback on Android 17 and newer when no app activity is visible.
    • Uses a phone-call foreground service for more reliable ringing.
    • Falls back to standard ringtone playback if the foreground service cannot start or notifications are disabled.
    • Ensures ringing stops correctly when an incoming call is cleared.

Android 17 hardens background audio: playback is silently muted unless
the app has a visible activity or a foreground service that is not of
type SHORT_SERVICE. The incoming call ringtone was played straight from
the FCM/broadcast path with no foreground service at all, so a push
delivered call rang silently with the app backgrounded.

IncomingCallNotificationService now adopts the incoming call
notification and runs as a phoneCall foreground service for the ringing
window, starting the ringtone only once it is in the foreground. This is
gated to API 37 so every other API level keeps its current behaviour,
and it falls back to the old direct playback whenever the service cannot
be started.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Android notification manager now starts a phoneCall foreground service for incoming-call ringing on Android 17 and newer. The service reuses the posted notification and falls back to local ringtone playback when startup fails.

Changes

Incoming call ringing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Notification handoff and ringing entry
packages/stream_video_push_notification/android/src/main/kotlin/.../IncomingCallConstants.kt, packages/stream_video_push_notification/android/src/main/kotlin/.../IncomingCallNotificationManager.kt
The manager tracks the posted notification, starts service-based ringing after notification posting, invokes local playback when service startup fails, and stops the service during call cleanup.
Foreground service ringing flow
packages/stream_video_push_notification/android/src/main/kotlin/.../IncomingCallNotificationService.kt, packages/stream_video_push_notification/CHANGELOG.md
The service handles the ringing action, adopts the notification with FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_PHONE_CALL, logs failures, and supports Android 17 compatibility. The changelog records the fix.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2a2ce

Overlapping incoming calls can cause the wrong call to ring or allow one call to stop another call’s ringing. The PR is not ready to merge until ringing state is associated with each call or prior sessions are explicitly replaced.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Associate ringing service state with a call ID.

currentIncomingNotification stores only one notification. startForegroundService handles service commands asynchronously. If call B arrives before the service handles call A, IncomingCallNotificationService reads B at Line 127 while it plays A data. Ending call A can also clear B state and stop B ringing.

Key the adopted notification and cleanup by EXTRA_CALL_ID, or explicitly stop and replace the prior active call before starting a new ringing session.
