For offline message: You will receive message as below:

Offline StorageHello

You can parse this XML to get stamp attribute under delay tag. This will give you the time on which it is sent from the sender.

For MAM archived message: You will receive something as below:

hello

You can parse this XML to get id attribute under archived tag. This will give you the epoch time in microseconds when this message was sent from the sender.
