I was wondering:

Is it possible to customize the Android Contact Picker so that it can also allow adding a new contact as a menu option in the default contact list?

At the moment, if I invoke the contact picker from my activity, it only displays the default contact list. I would also like the user to be able to create a new contact if it did not exist already. I have searched this quite a lot but do not find appropriate API to do this. There is nothing in ContactContract as far as I can see.
