Enable Phone State sensor on Android Tablet

[charlie969]

Describe the feature

The Home Assistant app on Android phones includes a Phone State sensor, which detects whether the phone is ringing or in a call. On tablets, it's still possible to give the app the Phone permission, but the Phone State sensor isn't available. Having the sensor enabled would allow Home Assistant to detect whether the tablet is currently being used to make a video call via WhatsApp, Messenger, Zoom, etc.

Use cases

Set music/TV to pause when making or receiving a video call.
