There are a few Java NTP and SNT
So just a heads up that Android uses NITZ events provided by a carrier
to properly set the system date and time. Android also falls-back to
network NTP automatically when no cellular network is available.

The time provided by currentTimeMillis() will typically

Thanks! I'll just use currentTimeMillis().

Or you can do something like this...
Date d = new Date();
d.getTime();
I personally prefer this but only because I have access to other functions
for outputing the time in a human readable form without having to write a
bunch of extra code.

may be with :
import android.text.format.Time;
Time time = new Time();
time.setToNow();

So I made the NTP assumption based on seeing things scroll by in
logcat, but after digging deeper, it looks like it doesn't actually
change the system clock. (Instead it's used for GPS somehow?)

Hrm. I assume the NTP API isn't somewhere that Java code can access, which
means we're back to using an existing Java NTP/SNTP client

Why install a NTP daemon if it
The documentation for SystemClock will give you a nice summary of your
choices of current times with Android at
