sure, it is possible. With 2.x version the below example should be working:

>>> vl = iface.activeLayer()
>>> actions = vl.actions()
>>>
>>> actionName = 'Show feature id'
>>> actionContent = 'from qgis.utils import iface; iface.messageBar().pushMessage("Feature ID: [% $id %]", 0)'
>>>
>>> actions.addAction(QgsAction.GenericPython, actionName, actionContent)

Since QGIS 3 the code for actions was revamped, please see
