Twillio call disconnect after the user recieves one ring

I want to immediately terminate a call as soon as the call is initialized an the user gets one ring

this are my routes

Route::any('missedCall','RegistrationController@missedCall');
Route::any('callForMissedCall',function(){
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?   ><Response/>');
    $xml->addChild('Dial timeout="0"');
    $header['Content-Type'] = 'application/xml';
    return Response::make($xml->asXML(), '200', $header);
});

and the function that I am calling with the first route

    public function missedCall(Request $request)
    {
        $data = $request->all();
        if (isset($data['id'])) {
            Response::json(array("status"=>'failure',"msg"=>'Missing    argument'));
        }
        $regDetails = RegistrationDetails::find($data['id']);

        if (!$regDetails)
            return Response::json(array("status"=>"failure","msg"=>"No     data is present"));
        $phone_no = $regDetails->phone_no;
        $country = $regDetails->country;
        if (!$country)
            return    Response::json(array("status"=>"failure","msg"=>"Country missing"));
        $countryData = Country::where('name',"LIKE",$country)->first();

        $phnCode = $countryData->phonecode;
        $phone = "+".$phnCode.$phone_no;
        $twilio = Twilio::call($phone,     $_ENV['app_url']."/callForMissedCall");
     }

The above code only terminates after the user picks the call. Any solution around this.. Thanks in advance

    Following this link from twillio https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/twiml/dial
    I was able to implement the calling.. It is not quite possible to terminate the call but one can follow my code to see how i was able to achieve this

        public function missedCall($id)
{
    if (isset($id)) {
        Response::json(array("status"=>'failure',"msg"=>'Missing argument'));
    }
    $regDetails = RegistrationDetails::find($id);

    if (!$regDetails)
        return Response::json(array("status"=>"failure","msg"=>"No data is present"));
    $phone_no = $regDetails->phone_no;
    $country = $regDetails->country;
    if (!$country)
        return Response::json(array("status"=>"failure","msg"=>"Country missing"));
    $countryData = Country::where('name',"LIKE",$country)->first();

    $phnCode = $countryData->phonecode;
    $phone = "+".$phnCode.$phone_no;
    $twilio = Twilio::call($phone, $_ENV['app_url']."/callForMissedCall");
}

    on the xml part of it

       Route::any('callForMissedCall',function(){
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Response/>');
$xml->addChild('Dial');
$header['Content-Type'] = 'application/xml';
return Response::make($xml->asXML(), '200', $header);

    });

    Twilio evangelist here.

    We just introduced a new feature called Call Progress Events which gives you more granular notifications as a call progresses. I’m not sure we can let you know that a call made exactly one ring, but I know we can tell you that it is “ringing” vs “answered”.

    If you detect “ringing” you could subsequently terminate the call.

    hope that helps.
