Soon as you receive an SMS on your device, Broadcast receiver handles it, as you've codded it. so to get time at which SMS is received, you may use:

long smsReceiveTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

after your

String message = currentMessage.getDisplayMessageBody();

and same way, for date:

SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String formattedDate = df.format(c.getTime());
