Hey guy finally I resolved this adding a custom field to ContactProvider and then QuickContactBadge will be link it for you.

My code, for adding, delete a particular entry, delete all entry added by me.

 private static final String IM_LABEL = "Test protocol";
 private static final String LOG_TAG = "Log"
    /**
 * This method add my account under IM field at default Contact
 * application
 * 
 * Labeled with my custom protocol.
 * 
 * @param contentResolver
 *            content resolver
 * @param uid
 *            User id from android
 * @param account
 *            account name
 */
public static void updateIMContactField(ContentResolver contentResolver,
        String uid, String account) {

    ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();

    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID,
            Integer.parseInt(uid));
    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.TYPE,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.TYPE_CUSTOM);
    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.LABEL, IM_LABEL);
    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.PROTOCOL,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.PROTOCOL_CUSTOM);
    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL,
            IM_LABEL);

    contentValues.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.DATA, account);

    ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
    ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
            .newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
            .withValues(contentValues).build());

    try {
        contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Can't update Contact's IM field.");
    }

        Log.d(LOG_TAG,

    }
}

Hope some one found this useful.

Here's how you're able to add Custom Field in the ContactsContract.IM.

val contentProviderOperation = ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>()
val rawContactInsertIndex = contentProviderOperation.size

contentProviderOperation.add(
    ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
        .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
        .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
        .build()
)

val customOperation = ContentProviderOperation
    .newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
    .withValueBackReference(
        ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID,
        rawContactInsertIndex
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.TYPE,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.TYPE_CUSTOM
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.PROTOCOL,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.PROTOCOL_CUSTOM
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL,
        "Custom IM Field"
    ).withValue(
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.DATA,
        "Custom IM Value"
    )

contentProviderOperation.add(customOperation.build())

contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, contentProviderOperation)
