Add contact with custom phone number label

I'd like the ability to add a contact to the user's contacts with a contact name (easy enough), a phone number, but also a custom label for that phone number as supported in ICS. For example, I might like to add "John Doe" with the phone number "xxx-xxx-xxxx" as custom type "Blackberry". Is this granularity possible?

Try this code. It is Custom add multiple record inside the one contact.
It's very easy for save contact detail application to default phone contact book.

ArrayList<ContentValues> data = new ArrayList<ContentValues>();

        ContentValues row2 = new ContentValues();
        row2.put(ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
        row2.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE_CUSTOM);
        row2.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.LABEL, "Green Bot");
        row2.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.ADDRESS, "[email protected]");
        data.add(row2);

        ContentValues row3 = new ContentValues();
        row3.put(ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
        row3.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM);
        row3.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL, "Arpit");
        row3.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, "[email protected]");
        data.add(row3);

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
        intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, "Jiks");
        intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.EMAIL, "[email protected]");
        intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, "555-555-5555");
        intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.DATA, data);
        startActivity(intent);

This can be done with an Intent as seen below. (Bonus: You don't have to ask for read/write contacts permissions!) The specific fields you're interested in are ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE_TYPE and ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.SECONDARY_PHONE_TYPE

private void addContact(Activity activity)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.ACTION);
    intent.setType(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, "John Smith");
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.EMAIL, "[email protected]");
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, "555-555-5555");
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE_TYPE, "Blackberry");
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.SECONDARY_PHONE, 555-444-3333);
    intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.SECONDARY_PHONE_TYPE, "School Phone");
    activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, ""));
}
