unfortunately not... "incoming-call" is one of your contexts.

this is too little info to make a qualified suggestion... If you want to 
make all fully automagic system... you have to create some kind of 
dialer, use TTS and some other enhanced techniques.
Not to hard to do, but maybe to difficult for a novice...

A call usually has two channels involved... with setVariable you set the 
variable on the first (initiating) channel. If you need to access these 
variables
on the second channel, you must go another way. But again... you´re 
trying the wrong approach. This way you would connect the extension 300 with
the dialled party, but as far as I understood, you want to call the 
party and play a soundfile...?
Lets say you want to call 01-234567 and play the voicefile after 
pickup... try this:

         originateAction = new OriginateAction();
         originateAction.setChannel("dahdi/g0/01234567");
         originateAction.setContext("medicine");
         originateAction.setExten("s");
         originateAction.setPriority(1);
         originateAction.setTimeout(30000l);
         originateAction.setAsync(true);

and have the following context in your asterisk:

[medicine]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Playback(your voicefile goes here)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
