Access to android OS settings

Question

how can I get access to the Android OS settings from source code? I get access to some settings like check Internet connection

private void checkIntenet() {
        connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        networkInfo = null;
        networkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (networkInfo != null) {
            stringBuilder.append(getResources().getString(R.string.activeNetwork) + "\n");
            stringBuilder.append(getResources().getString(R.string.available) + " " + networkInfo.isAvailable() + "\n");
            stringBuilder.append(getResources().getString(R.string.connected) + " " + networkInfo.isConnected() + "\n");
            stringBuilder.append(getResources().getString(R.string.extra) + "" + networkInfo.getExtraInfo() + "\n" + "\n");
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "networkInfo is null", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

but I can't get access to Android OS settings

what exactly you need ? i mean what do you want to access ? we have access to almost everything but we can not make any kind of changes on settings part using android-sdk, — Amit, Jan 09 '14 at 10:15
I need to check the backup setting (Menu-Setting-Privacy-Back up my data) — lazexe, Jan 09 '14 at 10:16
if you want to make changes to anything related to settings you need to work on framework part of OS — Amit, Jan 09 '14 at 10:16
