change setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL) TO setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC) . It will work on android 6.0 and above. Make sure all permission's are allowed. — Hemant Parmar

The MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL source requires CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT permission which will be granted just for system apps and NOT for 3rd-party applications.
