There is no such API.

Most current is drawn by shared resources like display, GPS, WLAN, and mobile connection.

You would have to know the current drawn by the above and "assign" it to an application.

All you can do is getting the CPU and GPU load of applications. But that is only significant for applications generating high loads (regarding current consumption) and you still don't know the current drawn.

However, you can track these loads and create averages over fixed time periods. These averages are then indicators for more or less current consumption.
