don't see anything promising in Settings under Do Not Disturb.

 Thanks for the responses. Looks like a caller can't tell whether my
Android phone is on DND or just not answering. Presumably DND shifts
them to voicemail without delay, so that might give them a clue,
though they'd experience the same thing if I was prompt about tapping
Reject.

That is correct. But you can silence your Android by putting it face down on the table. Ideal for company or private meetings. As soon as you pick it up it rings again on incoming calls and notifications.
