This worked for me:

String serialNumber;

try {
    Class c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");
    Method get = c.getMethod("get", String.class, String.class);

    serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "sys.serialnumber", "error");
    if (serialNumber.equals("error")) {
        serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "ril.serialnumber", "error");
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
