I tried following codes for adding new contact which is not working in my device..
but same code is working fine with Emulator..
I am using Samsung Galaxy fit GT-s5670.

CODE STYLE – 1

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();                     
values.put(People.NAME,"test contact");     

Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);

Uri phoneUri = null;
Uri emailUri = null;

phoneUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(uri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);

values.clear();
values.put(People.Phones.TYPE, People.Phones.TYPE_MOBILE);
values.put(People.Phones.NUMBER,"0123456789");
getContentResolver().insert(phoneUri, values);

emailUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(uri, People.ContactMethods.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);

values.clear();
values.put(People.ContactMethods.KIND, Contacts.KIND_EMAIL);
values.put(People.ContactMethods.DATA,"test@test.com");
values.put(People.ContactMethods.TYPE, People.ContactMethods.TYPE_HOME);
getContentResolver().insert(emailUri, values);

CODE STYLE – 2

Intent intent = new Intent(Contacts.Intents.Insert.ACTION, Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI);                
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME,"test contact");
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE,"0123456789");

    or use this code.

    ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size();

ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                    .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
                    .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME,null )
                    .build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
                    .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
                    .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE,Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
                    .withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "9X-XXXXXXXXX")
                    .build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
                    .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
                    .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE,
                     StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
                    .withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Mike Sullivan")
                    .build());  
ContentProviderResult[] res = getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
