You can try following code:

private Date getGMTDate(long date) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormatGmt = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    dateFormatGmt.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormatLocal = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");

    Date temp = new Date(date);

    try {
        return dateFormatLocal.parse(dateFormatGmt.format(temp));
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return temp;
}  

I hope this will help you.
