Cursor c = getContentProvider().query(Email.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { Email.ADDRESS }, Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId + " AND " + Email.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY + " = 1", null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
   Log.d(TAG, "email = " + c.getString(0));
}

IS_SUPER_PRIMARY is the key to get this. hope this will solve your problem

The field you're looking for is IS_SUPER_PRIMARY, here's a code to get the default email for a contact:

long contactId = <your contact id>;
Cursor c = getContentProvider().query(Email.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { Email.ADDRESS }, Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId + " AND " + Email.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY + " = 1", null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
   Log.d(TAG, "email = " + c.getString(0));
}

Not sure there is a way to get the default email programmatically except you give the user ability to select an email account, generally, the user's first email are mostly the default email but not always so.

If you want to still use the first email, you just return the first mail from the email account list returned

you can do this 

       public  String  getUserAccount(){
        AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this);
        Account[] accounts = am.getAccounts();
        ArrayList<String> googleAccounts = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (Account ac : accounts)
        {
            String acname = ac.name;
            String actype = ac.type;
            //add only google accounts
            if(ac.type.equals("com.google"))  googleAccounts.add(ac.name);
        }
            String primaryAccount = googleAccounts.get(0);
         return primaryAccount;
      }

This will return the first google email
