How about you ping to a website from your app and keep track of time spent in receiving a response?

See How to ping a website from an Android activity and get response?

you can use startTime and endTime variables in the code and compare the difference.

 try{ 
    Log.e("checking", "Checking network connection...");
    //startTime
    httpClient.execute(httpGet);
   //EndTime
    Log.e("checking", "Connection OK");
    return; 
}
