Applications are not allowed to send input events to other applications. You should add an activity monitor to mock out the contact picker activity, probably returning a canned result. This is better in a lot of ways: it is less work while running the test, lets you completely control the result that is returned, and prevents your instrumentation from breaking due to changes in the contacts UI.
