Can't play a ringtone from a ContentProvider

I'm trying to play a ringtone using a ContentProvider, this works great using a contact ringtone (openFile | openAsset is called within my content provider)

        final ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(ContactsContract.Contacts.CUSTOM_RINGTONE, MY_CONTENT_PROVIDER_URI.toString());

        final Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
                ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
                Uri.encode(String.valueOf(contact)));
        mContext.getContentResolver().update(uri, values, null, null);

However won't work for the phone ringtone, my ContentProvider won't be called (Not even query()) and the system default ringtone will be played instead.

        android.media.RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
                mContext,
                android.media.RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE,
                MY_CONTENT_PROVIDER_URI.toString());

Is this an android limitation?
