Call forwarding _to_ an Android phone

FWIW,

1.) Model Number ? T-Mobile myTouch 3G (rooted)
2.) Firmware Version ? 1.6
3.) Baseband Version ? 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
4.) Kernel Version ? 2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod
5.) Build Number ? DRC92

I often have my phone line at work forwarded to my cell phone. For call tracking purposes, I would like some notification or indication of what phone calls are being forwarded to me by my work line, as opposed to what calls are coming directly to me.

I know that this capability exists and that my carrier supports it, because my previous phone (a pre-paid Motorola Renew which I dropped my SIM card into) would list the phone number of incoming calls, followed by "Call forwarded." I just don't know how to enable this in Android, or if can even be done. Are there any programs or settings which can do this?

Thanks in advance,

Robert Gillmer
