Android: How to programmatically invoke PIN screen directly?

Currently with the 2.2 API I am able to lock the device via DevicePolicyManager.lockNow().

Having called that method I get a standard Android lock screen. I have to unlock the device to see the next sceen I'm actually interested in - the PIN screen.

So, my question is "Is it possible to invoke PIN screen directly (without getting to the lock screen first)?".

you can start an intent with action set to DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_SET_NEW_PASSWORD
