Yes, you can. By call TimeZone setDefault() method.

public String getTime(String timezone) {
    TimeZone defaultTz = TimeZone.getDefault();

    TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezone));
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date date = cal.getTime();
    String strDate = date.toString();

    // Reset Back to System Default
    TimeZone.setDefault(defaultTz);

    return strDate;
}
