It is very hard to ensure that someone with write access can't also get data back from the provider, so generally no.
Alternatively you could use the intent protocol to bring up the contacts editor with your data to allow the user to be involved with adding it, using SHOW_OR_ADD_CONTACT: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Intents.html#SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT <http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Intents.html#SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT>This should not require any permissions.
