Try and use your setCreated with annotations for @ORM\PrePersist and setUpdated with annotations for @ORM\PrePersist and @ORM\PreUpdate methods as opposed to prePersist and preUpdate methods...

/**
 * @ORM\PrePersist
 */
public function setCreated()
{
    $this->created = new \DateTime();
}

/**
 * @ORM\PrePersist
 * @ORM\PreUpdate
 */
public function setUpdated()
{
    $this->updated = new \DateTime();
}
