The api im calling requires that i send a unix timestamp in seconds in order to get the changes that occurred to an entity since that time.
i can't use currentTimeMillis because that can be changed by user, and i cant use elapsedRealtime() is device dependent
is there away to get this time?

Use an SNTP library to call a time server. – CommonsWare Apr 05 '20 at 17:28

You can create a repository that fetches the Unix time from a server, like this one
http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now
The only concern is that you need internet permission.
