Hi Daniel,

I don't think its possible through QML only yet. On the N9 this was possible 
by connecting to the telepathy service on D-Bus (only in C++). Not even sure 
if that's already working Ubuntu Touch yet.

I'll give it a shot at some point as I need it for my application too. I'll 
need it only from C++ but once that works, it shouldn't be much efforts to wrap 
it in a QML plugin.

Gustavo, do you know about the plans regarding such functionaliry? Will apps 
have (probably read-only) access to the telepathy D-Bus interface that signals 
incoming calls?

Br,
Michael
