hi I want to get the response of actions performed in the windows phone, such as user is answered the call, calling another usr, sms recived etc. In android there is Intent Filters and Broadcast recivers for catching any news happening in the phone. Do we have same mechanism in Windows phone?
You can't intercept those events from your app with the current SDK.

Register custom app as default for handling sms sending and receveing in windows phone
This is not possible with the current Windows Phone SDK. You can vote on the official Windows Phone Dev Feedback to indicate your interest in an SMS Access API.
The only thing you can do with the current SDK is launch the default SMS app with a predefined number and text:
SmsComposeTask smsComposeTask = new SmsComposeTask();
smsComposeTask.To = "2065550123";
smsComposeTask.Body = "Your text";
smsComposeTask.Show();
You can send SMS using the above mentioned method.But you cannot receive SMS in windows phone.
It is possible only in Windows Mobile platforms.
As far as I am aware, you cannot change the default apps in Windows Phone.
And addition. You'r program is being run in a sandbox - closed space for you'r application only. That means you cannot run/modify etc other 3 party programms. Only the default programs like Calculator and etc. are awailable
I'm using the code from this article, with phonegap app.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/glengordon/archive/2011/12/02/phonegap-on-wp7-tip-3-sending-sms-and-intro-to-plugins.aspx
The plugin works all fine, but when the SMS is sent, I want to return to my app automatically. Is this possible? If its possible to send an SMS without go to the default integrated sender, it could be even better.
I'm a newbie to C# and windows phone apps - please help me ;)
there is no way to avoid the integrated SMS sender due to security reasons. User will return to your app after hitting the Back button on the SMS conversation page (that is esured automatically because of the stack-controlled nature of paging in WP7, but will not return after hitting the home button (again, this behavior cannot be prevented in any way) and your app will be suspended (possible to return to it by holding the back button and choosing it).
Is there an api in mango sdk that allows me to programatically poll the notifications/toast to at least get the count. I'd like to write background service check for missed messages.
It's not possible to get hold of the email/SMS messaging details like this in Windows Phone. The only way to interact with the email client is via the SDK Launchers and Choosers: see this link on MSDN.
About all you can do is call the EmailComposeTask or SmsComposeTask for writing a plain text email or SMS, or EmailAddressChooserTask for getting an email address from the address book.
Also bear in mind that launchers and choosers must be initiated by a user action and cannot be launched from any background agent code.
I am thinking of a simple chat application in Window Phone using Microsoft Push Notification Service.
I read a guide at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202967(v=VS.92).aspx which talks about creating a client application that receive toast notification.
This is a first time for me to develop a mobile application so I do not get some part of it.
The question that I have is, is it possible for a client (window phone) to send toast notification directly to other client? I have found below image from the web. It seems that I need to have Cloud Application(probably webserver?) to play with notification service.
Would it be possible to build a Window phone application that directly request to MPNS to send notification to other window phone application? (so from the picture above, '2' will directly point to Microsoft Push Notification Service)
If it is not, what is the reason for that?
There is a good explanation of the push notification service here.
From the above link.
Registration Phase 2: Now that the MPNS known the presence of the
phone on the network, it is required the phone itself provide the Uri
to the Earthquake service. Until this not happen the service doesn't
know there is a phone that need to be notified so it is not able to
provide the notifications. The phone must call a method on the
Earthquake service to provide the Uri that has been answered by the
MPNS. Once the Earthquake service gets this url it can store this
informations somewhere for a later use.
In your case you'll need communication between your devices before any notifications can be sent. This is to know the uri of your phone. A server has to store these uris for all devices registered for notifications. This is why you'll need an application which sends the xml to the MPNS.
I'm new to windows phone 7 development...
Can anyone please tell me how to calculate call duration? or how to get notification of incoming call? using silverlight or c#
is there any API's available..
Thanks
Sam
There is no way to get calls information or notifications of incoming calls on the current Windows Phone 7 SDK.
There is no way to access call information.
However if your app is running and a call comes in the Obscured event will be triggered. You can then use a combination of the Unobscured, NavigatedTo, Loaded & Activated events to determine when the app has the focus again.
This won't give you the length of the call but rather then time between an event that may be a call (including incoming SMS, alarms, etc.) and the user returning fully to your app. This may be a good enough approximation, but it will depend on your needs.
