                    vals.put("selected", 1);

                    vals.put("sync_events", 1);

                    vals.put("hidden", 0);
                    Uri result=  getContentResolver().insert(calUri, vals);


                    System.out.println(result);

You should try something like this :

vals.put(Calendar.Calendars._SYNC_ACCOUNT_TYPE, "ACCOUNT_TYPE_LOCAL");
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.NAME,"sachin");
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.DISPLAY_NAME,"my_Cal");
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.COLOR, 14417920);
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.ACCESS_LEVEL, 700);
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.SELECTED, 1);
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.SYNC_EVENTS, 1);
vals.put((Calendar.Calendars.TIMEZONE, "GMT");
vals.put(Calendar.Calendars.HIDDEN, 0);
