Do accelerated frames of reference bring gravitons into existence?

Am I right to believe that according to the General Theory of Relativity observers in a gravitation field can consider themselves to be in an equivalent accelerating frame of reference and that, disregarding non-local phenomena, there is, in principle, no experiment that can be performed to choose the gravitational description over the accelerated frame of reference description? If that is correct, then either accelerated frames of reference must somehow bring gravitons into existence or there is no such thing as gravitons since detecting them would breech the 'relativity' in general relativity. Where have I gone wrong in this reasoning?
