Automatically testing an Android function that needs user authentication

I am trying to require user authentication through Keyguard Manager for an Android app as part of a flow. This means that user must be authenticated to go through the flow. This is accomplished by starting a Keyguard Manager createConfirmDeviceCredentialIntent generated activityForResult and receiving an activityResult from it.

I want to test that flow automatically. This causes a problem because my automated test isn't able to authenticate itself(i.e. enter swipe pattern or enter PIN). How can I get my test to automatically pass this to put the test environment into an authenticated state? Can I mock some function in the Keyguard Manager to automatically pass the authentication check?
