may this work for you : 

    public String getCallerFromEmailId(String emailId) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String callerName = null;
    ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver();
    Cursor cursor = resolver.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
            null, null, null, null);

    if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {

            Cursor pcursor = resolver.query(
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
                    null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA
                            + " = ?", new String[] { emailId }, null);

            while (pcursor.moveToNext()) {
                callerName = pcursor
                        .getString(pcursor
                                .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                return callerName;
            }
            pcursor.close();

        }
    }
    cursor.close();
    return callerName;
}

Fetch contacts based on emailID using email match specific URI

Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(emailIdString));

where emailIdString is the email address for which you want to fetch contacts.

Cursor contactLookup = cr.query(uri, new String[] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID, ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null);

contactLookup cursor will have all contacts whose emailID matches with the emailIdString.
