No, the Eddystone frames, including Eddystone-TLM to not include any information about uptime.

This is the information that Confidex Team has provided

@davidgyoung : I have rephrased my question for better understanding. Do we have way in Android Beacon library to extract Beacon Uptime information from the Eddystone-TLM Frame ? Confidex has added this parameter in the their beacons and we wanted to use that. Please help

Yes, it seems that is correct -- the Eddystone-TLM Frame does have an uptime field. I had not worked with this format in years, so I had forgotten.

So yes, you can use the library to read that field. How to do so is fully documented in the Getting Ranging Updates from Nearby Beacons With Telemetry section here
