(54)	CALL METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE

(57) A call method and a terminal device relating to the field of terminal technologies are provided, which constrain behavior of a VoIP application after a push end receives a call message and wakes up a main process of the VoIP application, thereby solving a problem of increasing overall power consumption and memory occupation caused by abuse of VoIP messages. The method includes: installing a first application having a VoIP call function on the terminal device; when the first application is not running in a foreground of the terminal device, waking up, by the terminal device, a main process of the first application, and sending, to the first application, a first call message received through a push channel, where the first call message is used to implement a first VoIP call; and when the first application does not execute a first incoming call alert within preset duration in response to the first call message, keeping, by the terminal device, a main process of the first application alive within the preset duration, where the first incoming call alert is used to output a first incoming call notification message for prompting a user.
