Support of "android.intent.action.CALL"

Hi. It would be nice to allow Tasker to intercept the "android.intent.action.CALL". I'd like to use it to make Tasker to catch call events, then wait until my Android car head-unit connects to my phone and place calls using its bluetooth connection as soon as it's established. (Head-unit and phone connect after Tasker sends through USB modem an SMS command to the phone)

Oh, I see what you mean. Re-opening this.

Tasker can already intercept call events.

Check the Phone category in the Events and States when creating a new profile.

My Head Unit (Car Kit) doesn’t allow Tasker to catch the intent that I need. By studying the Tasker Android manifest I see Tasker is not allowed to intercept android.intent.action.CALL and can not be chosen as a default call application which can be started by a dialer. I want Tasker to catch the intent sent by a dialer, wait until Bluetooth connection is established and then pass the postponed call into the phone via Bluetooth.
