Answer 2

I spent a lot of time trying to update the company and title information. The following now works for me.

Uri workUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
            values.clear();
            values.put(android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.COMPANY, "company");
            values.put(android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.TYPE, android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.TYPE_WORK);
            values.put(android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.TITLE, "job title");
            values.put(android.provider.Contacts.Organizations.ISPRIMARY, 1);
            getContentResolver().insert(workUri, values);

In order to update any data in the contacts you need to know the existing id for that fields. Then I used the Builder class to obtain separate ContentProviderOperation objects for the various fields I wanted to update, add them to an arrayList and then use the ContentProvider.applyBatch() method
