Yes

You can use OnPrimaryClipChangedListener from ClipboardManager class in Android.

Have a look at this

EDIT: Example:

class ClipboardListener implements ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener
{
   public void onPrimaryClipChanged()
   {
      // use getPrimaryClip() to get the data or simply display a toast
   }
}

ClipboardManager clipBoard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipBoard.addPrimaryClipChangedListener( new ClipboardListener() );
