If you're using a WebView, the answer is yes. WebView webview = ...; WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings(); String uastring = settings.getUserAgentString();
I don't know of a way to ask the Browser application itself -- but if you're doing this level of stuff, you may be wanting more control anyway, and want to use a WebView. What would you do with this information in an app? I guess you could run a little web server in your app, direct the browser to it, pick up the UA string, and redirect to somewhere else. Bleh. A whole lot of hackery for something that hardly ever changes.
