Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();


            if(null == bundle)
                    return;


           String state = bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);


            if(incoming_flag==true){
            if(state.equalsIgnoreCase(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING))
            {

                    ////////testing ends

                    String phonenumber = bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
                  //  String personname=bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.)       
                    Log.i("IncomingCallReceiver","Incomng Number: " + phonenumber);
                    ContentResolver con =null;


                    //testing name
                    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phonenumber));

                    Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME},null,null,null);
                    if (cursor.moveToFirst())
                    {
                         name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
                    }   

You will have to generate a broadcast for it to detect incoming call the use the intent of onRecieve param to get name the above sample code shows the way to do it, you will have to write a service which will start from broadcast to play caller name use text to speech method
