Step-1 Create your own content observer and register it to detect any type of contact change

getApplication().getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, true,new MyContentObserver());

Step-2 Write your own logic to detect contact addition if new contact id is added.

Example: Re-query a cursor to the Contacts table each time the ContentObserver changes and maintain the highest known CONTACT_ID value. The newly added contact will have the id which you have stored before
