Android 7 #10

Hello, this app looks very useful! Any possibility of adding support for Android 7?

Edit: Sorry for multiple posts looks like the app with which I'm accessing Github is broken :(

Well, the main issue is that I use 2 functions that were only introduced fairly recently:

[acceptRingingCall](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/TelecomManager#acceptRingingCall()) - API level 26 (Android 8) [endCall](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/TelecomManager#endCall()) - API level 28 (Android 9)

Because of that, the app needs at least Android 8. All the other code should work find on older devices though.

These two functions are deprecated in API level 29 again, so I'm going to have to replace them at some point (not sure with what yet), but it's really up to Google above all what Android versions I can support. That being said, if you find a nice and reliable way to do this I'm welcome to hearing about it.

If someone contributes code to make it work on older Android versions that doesn't break support for newer Android versions I am willing to accept it.

It seems that InCallService supports API level 23, which is Android 6.0. So Android 6 and up support should be possible after #34 (sadly no Android 5).
