I found a pseudo-workaround that uses getResources().getConfiguration
().locale.getCountry() and looks up timezone by country code. For any
country that contains more than 1 time zone, this will only calculate
time for one of those timezones. Also, this doesn't handle daylight
savings vs. standard time.

Ps. Here's the code:
Map<String, Integer> timeZoneOffsetMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>
();
{
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("CZ",+1); // Czech Republic
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("AT",+1); // Austria
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("BE",+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("CH",+1); // Switzerland
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("DE",+1); // Germany
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("LI",+1); // Liechtenstein
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("LU",+1); // Luxembourg
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("AU",+11); // Australia
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("BE",+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("BW",+2); // Botswana
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("BZ",-6); // Belize
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("CA",-6); // Canada
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("GB",+0); // United Kingdom
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("HK",+8); // Hong Kong SAR China
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("IE",+0); // Ireland
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("IN",+6); // India
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("JM",-5); // Jamaica
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("MH",+12); // Marshall Islands
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("MT",+1); // Malta
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("NA",+1); // Namibia
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("NZ",+13); // New Zealand
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("PH",+8); // Philippines
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("PK",+5); // Pakistan
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("SG",+8); // Singapore
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("TT",-4); // Trinidad and Tobago
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("US",-6); // United States
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("VI",-4); // U.S. Virgin Islands
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("ZA",+2); // South Africa
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("FR",+1); // France
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("BE",+1); // Belgium
timeZoneOffsetMap.put("NL",+1); // Netherlands
}
String country = context.getResources().getConfiguration
().locale.getCountry().toUpperCase();
int timeZoneOffset_hours = 0;
if(timeZoneOffsetMap.containsKey(country)) {
timeZoneOffset_hours= timeZoneOffsetMap.get(country);
}
int timeZoneOffset_millisec = timeZoneOffset_hours * 60 * 60 * 1000
long now = System.currentTimeMillis() + timeZoneOffset_millisec;
