String value = android.provider.Settings.System.getString(context.getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.TIME_12_24);
Updated Answer, you should use this instead of the above, as above could give back a null value:
DateFormat.is24HourFormat(context)

3*Caution:* Using this can result in a null value being returned to your application. As specified in this answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/7922264/181211 , a better solution is `DateFormat.is24HourFormat()` . MrJre, I recommend updating your answer. – CrimsonX Aug 04 '14 at 19:07
