Description

If I try to invoke termux-telephony-call over ssh, it works only if termux app is in the foreground.

pkg update is done, this is fdroid version, so everything is up to date. All permissions are granted to Termux and Termux API.

uname -a is
Linux localhost 4.9.190-20275752 #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 3 13:31:34 KST 2020 armv8l Android

Research direction

Start by reproducing termux-telephony-call over SSH while the Termux app is in the background, then inspect the command's Android API handling and lifecycle behavior. Done means the call works consistently without Termux in the foreground, while preserving the existing behavior when it is foregrounded.
