The rule with the iOS SDK, Apple and iTunes Apps, is that an app must be ready to give way to a phone call at any time.  The App will receive a message that a call is coming, and has a small amount of time to save data before being forced to the background.  In the background even if it was allowed there is no chance to do what you are thinking about.

Apple has not even let developers have access to the phone/sms log of the phone, so they are not going to let apps "listen in" on a phone call.

In my opinion having access to a phone call while it is ongoing on a iOS device will never happen for an app approved by Apple.  I think and also do actually hope that apple gives access to the phone log but that is still being discussed and wished in the developer forums.

I have no idea about Android as I have not written an code for it.  But from using a Samsung Galaxy Tab it appears that an app can be given access to most things.
