Answer 1

Use AudioManager to turn on speakers and CallStateListener to get the end of a call.

Answer 2

I found out that if I add code in this next order, it works best for me

      audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); 
      audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL); 
      audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);

whereas the following does not work for me if I set SpeakerphoneOn (true) in the first line:

       audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
       audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
       audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);
