Try this one:

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy, HH:mm:ss");
        formatter.setLenient(false);


        String endTime = "25.06.2017, 15:05:36"

        Date endDate;
        try {
            endDate = formatter.parse(endTime);
            milliseconds = endDate.getTime();

        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

         startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

         diff = milliseconds - startTime;


           mCountDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(milliseconds, 1000) {
            @Override
            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

                startTime=startTime-1;
                Long serverUptimeSeconds =
                        (millisUntilFinished - startTime) / 1000;

                String daysLeft = String.format("%d", serverUptimeSeconds / 86400);
                txtViewDays.setText(daysLeft);

                String hoursLeft = String.format("%d", (serverUptimeSeconds % 86400) / 3600);
                txtViewHours.setText(hoursLeft);

                String minutesLeft = String.format("%d", ((serverUptimeSeconds % 86400) % 3600) / 60);

                txtViewMinutes.setText(minutesLeft);

                String secondsLeft = String.format("%d", ((serverUptimeSeconds % 86400) % 3600) % 60);
                txtViewSecond.setText(secondsLeft);


            }

            @Override
            public void onFinish() {

            }
        }.start();

    }
