you can get time by using below code

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd:MMMM:yyyy HH:mm:ss a");
String strDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());

what you can do is when your app is installed then run that code and save that strDate in database or in sharedprefs and later on you can get that.

above is when you want to save time when you install your own application, and if you want to know that whenever an app is installed and you want to save the start time of that app then have a look at below link that might help you.
