ActivityNotFoundException when calling Intent.ACTION_CALL

Question

I get ActivityNotFoundException when perform Intent.ACTION_CALL operation. I found many links but all of it couldn't solve my problem.

It sometimes gives me exception like

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel:xxx-xxx-xxxx pkg=com.android.phone (has extras) }

I have used the following code in my project

String contact_number="123456789";
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + contact_number));
startActivity(callIntent);

I have solved this issue. I have used the following code

String contact_number="123456789";
Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setPackage("com.android.phone");
callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + contact_number));
startActivity(callIntent);

I have replaced this line for Lollipop

intent.setPackage("com.android.phone");

with

intent.setPackage("com.android.server.telecom");
