You can access global locale by -

defaultLocale = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale;

Take a look at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Resources.html#getSystem() -

Returns a global shared Resources object that provides access to only system resources (no application resources)

Update: As pointed out in comments 'locale' field is deprecated and you need to use getLocales() instead.

defaultLocale = Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0);
