Assuming you mean to only advertise your customer's route via router B to
provider #2 only if the connection via router a to ISP #1 fails, then yes
you can.  That is called conditional BGP advertisement.  See

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00800949e8.shtml#fifteen

and

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080094309.shtml

for more info.

Of course, the other provider must allow you to advertise the customer's
route so verify that they have their filters set properly.
