No, AFAIK you can't do that programmatically so showing that info to a user in UI is not feasible.

However for your own reference you can dump the alarm data via

adb shell dumpsys alarm

You don't need root permission for that.

But what you get from above could be very confusing to understand. In order to understand that dump completely you should check out morphatic's answer here.
