Can Google voice actions be used to make calls using 3rd party VOIP apps? Siri supports this but the documentation on Google isn't clear if this is supported.

When I add the intent-filter ACTION_CALL with CALL_PHONE permission set in my app. I still don't get the option to start the call with my app.

I think one should be able to do this.

  1. call using Skype
  2. call using WhatsApp
  3. call using Messenger

Both commands will open the app/intended Activity. Looking at the AndroidManifest.xml for Skype as an example, it does not look like they are doing anything else than what you are already trying.

I agree with you. The documentation is not very clear about this. This SO answer could indicate that the app needs to be available on Google Play before it works.
