[android-developers] Programatically forward current / active call

I have been spending the past several hours searching, and have yet to find a clear answer. Only that Call forwarding from apps is tricky, at best.

Is it even possible to programatically forward the currently active call?

Use case: You receive a call from Person A, but want to forward it to one of your colleagues, you find the correct colleague have a corporate phone book app, and this app will then initiate the forwarding.
The Corporate phonebook app already have  a"Call" button on the contacts page for that user. Pressing it jsut sends the user to the build-in Android phone application, which is perfectly fine.
I imagine that, if possible, the forwarding should be initiated in a similar fashion.

Problems: Security is an issue that is causing me to think that it can't (and shouldn't) be done bypassing the phone applicaiton. It could really screw up a phone if a malicious app could forward calls at will.

Cheers
