How to communicate through a headphone jack between arduino and a phone

Is there anyway that i can take a receiver (arduino) plugged into a phone and have it send data from the receiver through the audio jack to the phone to execute commands on the phone such as make a call or send a text. If not through the audio jack possibly the microusb then. i want to use zigbee or some other long range communication method to talk to the receiver that is plugged into the phone if its possible to bypass the receiver and do this directly with the phone then that would be even better
