content-provider

Hi there. I wanna change APN settings in a phone. Looked the api and there is a content provider named ACTION_APN_SETTINGS

developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html#ACTION_APN_SETTINGS

but i'm having a hard time figuring out how to use it. Is there any example or something that does not involve the "contacts" content provider?

Thanks.
