The spec of the SecureRandom class currently only talks about PRNG implementations. However, the implicit intent of the class is clearly to also allow for implementations where nextBytes() returns true random bytes, as may be possible in some hardware configurations. There are also PRNG implementations that continously reseed themselves as entropy becomes available, such as /dev/urandom available on some Unix versions. The spec should be enhanced to explicitly mention such implementations.
