I've spent hours trying to figure out this problem, and I'm happy to show you a nice work around. Don't bother waiting for the onFinish() call, just add 1 (or whatever your interval is) to your units, then add an if statement in the onTick() calls. Just do your onFinish() task(s) on the last onTick(). Here's what I've got:

    new CountDownTimer( (countDownTimerValue + 1) * 1000, 1000) { //Added 1 to the countdownvalue before turning it into miliseconds by multiplying it by 1000.
        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

          //We know that the last onTick() happens at 2000ms remaining (skipping the last 1000ms tick for some reason, so just throw in this if statement.
            if (millisUntilFinished < 2005){ 
                //Stuff to do when finished.
            }else{
                mTextField.setText("Time remaining: " + (((millisUntilFinished) / 1000) - 1));  //My textfield is obviously showing the remaining time. Note how I've had to subtrack 1 in order to display the actual time remaining.
            }
        }

        public void onFinish() {
        //This is when the timer actually finishes (which would be about 1000ms later right? Either way, now you can just ignore this entirely.


        }
    }.start();
