This depends very much on what is meant by "current time". Although my first reply was a bit short and non-explaining I do stand by it.
If by "current time" we mean the actual time of day according to solar/planetary movement - then "no" - there is no way to be sure what time it is. The usefulness of this answer depends very much on the reason for the question. In "the old days" of program demos etc. for PCs code would be constructed to allow a demo to run for a day/week/month which would be broken if the user changed the system clock eg. In the same way a program on Android relying on the system clock would be pretty "messed up" when the user adjust it. I totally agree that for "short time measuring purposes" like you describe using other internal time measurements would be possible.
