     27 <p>Android 7.0 moves functionality related to call notifications from the
     28 Telecom system service in the Android platform to the Dialer application.
     29 Previously, the responsibility for displaying call-related notifications was
     30 split between Telecom and the default Dialer app, creating inconsistencies in
     31 behavior. In Android 7.0, the Dialer assumes all responsibility for handling
     32 call notifications.</p>
     33 
     34 <h2 id=android_6>Behavior in Android 6.x and earlier</h2>
     35 <p>In earlier Android releases, Telecom and Dialer split responsibilities as
     36 described below:</p>
     37 
     38 <table>
     39 <tr>
     40 <th>Functionality</th>
     41 <th>Done by Telecom</th>
     42 <th>Done by Dialer</th>
     43 </tr>
     44 
     45 <tr>
     46 <td>Incoming call notification</td>
     47 <td>Yes (ringing, vibrate)</td>
     48 <td>Yes (notification display, caller ID)</td>
     49 </tr>
     50 
     51 <tr>
     52 <td>Send to voicemail</td>
     53 <td>Yes</td>
     54 <td>No</td>
     55 </tr>
     56 
     57 <tr>
     58 <td>Custom ringtone</td>
     59 <td>Yes</td>
     60 <td>No</td>
     61 </tr>
     62 
     63 <tr>
     64 <td>Missed call notifications</td>
     65 <td>Yes</td>
     66 <td>No</td>
     67 </tr>
     68 
     69 <tr>
     70 <td>Message Waiting Indicator (call voicemail)</td>
     71 <td>Yes (telephony)</td>
     72 <td>No</td>
     73 </tr>
     74 
     75 <tr>
     76 <td>Visual voicemail notifications</td>
     77 <td>No</td>
     78 <td>Yes</td>
     79 </tr>
     80 
     81 </tbody>
     82 </table>
     83 
     84 <p>Examples of inconsistent behavior caused by this responsibility split
     85 included:</p>
     86 <ul>
     87 <li>Telecom was responsible for starting the ringer/vibrator, but the dialer was
     88 responsible for displaying the incoming call notification. If the dialer is slow
     89 to startup, this can result in ringing starting several seconds before the
     90 incoming call notification is displayed.</li>
     91 <li>Telecom was responsible for displaying missed call notifications. As
     92 proprietary features (such as Google caller ID) do not work on these
     93 notifications, this could result in inconsistencies between Telecom
     94 notifications and Dialer UI (such as the call log).</li>
     95 </ul>
     96 
     97 <h2 id=android_7>Behavior in Android 7.0 and later</h2>
