Not easily. Here are some ideas:

You could try subclassing SQLiteCursor to create one that returns your 
"fictive" record along with the actual database query results. Then, you 
would need your own CursorFactory class to use the Cursor class you just 
created. Then you would need to use methods on SQLiteDatabase that let 
you supply the CursorFactory to use (e.g., rawQueryWithFactory()). That 
would let you introduce a "(no selection)" value to the Spinner without 
putting it in the database.

You could try subclassing Spinner to add a "(no selection)" choice along 
with whatever the Cursor provides in terms of data.

You could get by with one of my earlier suggestions and hope that the 
behavior you really want gets added to Android in some future release.

Hope this helps!
