Answer

I just found it

Maybe this can help you

int nightModeFlags =
getContext().getResources().getConfiguration().uiMode &
Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK;
switch (nightModeFlags) {
case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_YES:
     doStuff();
     break;

case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_NO:
     doStuff();
     break;

case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_UNDEFINED:
     doStuff();
     break;
}
