I started work on this a while back. It is pretty trivial to write a program that takes in a class file and from that class file generate the content provider and all the constants. Depending on what you are doing, you can add in some other "ORM" stuff if you need it.
The basic steps where to make a templated source code file and then using reflection determine what to fill in your class specific stuff. What I did was have the outer class represent the ContentProvider and a inner class for each table. You can use annotations for versioning and setting default sort columns and a couple of other things. I abandoned the project since it was too much of pain to keep up with Googles api changes. Hopefully that is no longer an issue.
