I need to know the power dissipated at stant t from my android device!
Power (P) = Voltage(V) * Current (I)
I am able to get the value of Battery voltage through registering for an intent receiver to receive the Broadcast for ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED. But the problem is that Android does not
expose the value of current through this SDK interface.
Any suggestion / pointers for getting battery current value? Also
please correct me if I am wrong.

Its not supported by the SDK but apparently it can be done by reading some values on the I2C bus. Here is a link to the source of
CurrentWidgetwhich has found a method to read the current. I’m seems the method of reading the current is different for each device.http://code.google.com/p/currentwidget/source/browse/trunk/CurrentWidgetLibrary/src/com/manor/currentwidget/library/CurrentReaderFactory.java
good luck!
