I don't understand your question. Can you provide some code that demonstrates the scenario?

'use strict'; var ari = require('ari-client'); var logger = require('mylogger'); var ARI_HOST = 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'; var ARI_PORT = 8363; var ARI_USER = 'XXXXXXXX'; var ARI_PASS = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; var appName = '91XXXXXXXXX';

function loadProcess() {

ari.connect('http://' + ARI_HOST + ':' + ARI_PORT, ARI_USER, ARI_PASS, clientLoaded);
function clientLoaded(err, client) {
    if (err) {
        logger.error(err);
    }
    var agent_number = '946XXXXXXX';
    var channelMain1 = client.Channel();
    channelMain1.on('StasisStart', function (event, channel) {
        logger.log('statisStart actually 2')
    });
    channelMain1.create(
            {app: appName, endpoint: "SIP/V19/" + agent_number, callerId: '+911XXXXXXXX},
            function (err, channel) {

                logger.log('call originating with channelId:', channel.id);

                client.channels.dial(
                        {channelId: channel.id},
                        function (err) {
                            if (err) {
                                return logger.error('dial err:', err)
                            }
                            logger.log('call dialed sussccessfully.....')

                        }
                );

            }
    );
    client.on('StasisStart', function (event, channel) {
        logger.log('statisStart client')
    });
    client.on('StasisEnd', function (event, channel) {
        logger.info('statsis END  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!')

    });

    client.start(appName);

}

}

loadProcess();

In above code 'StasiStart' event not fired when phone pick by user, as i know it should fired when phone pick.

This is not a bug. Using the two stage dialing of creating and dialing immediately sends the channel into the Stasis application, even when they haven't answered. This allows you to do things to the channel before dialing it[1]. You would need to examine the events from the channel to know when it is answered or has been rejected.

Did you try to use channelMain1.originate() instead of create?
