Try this, replace the format

public static final String DATE_FORMAT       = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'";

public static String getFormattedLocalTimeFromUtc (String utcTimeStamp, String outputFormat) {

   String formattedTime = null;
   if (!TextUtils.isEmpty (utcTimeStamp)) {
     if (utcTimeStamp.contains ("T")) {

        String localTime = null;
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat (DATE_FORMAT, Locale.getDefault ());
        sdf.setTimeZone (TimeZone.getTimeZone ("UTC"));
        try {
            localTime = sdf.parse (utcTimeStamp).toString ();
        }
        catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace ();
        }

        DateFormat inputDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat ("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
        inputDateFormat.setTimeZone (TimeZone.getTimeZone ("UTC"));
        Date date = null;
        try {
            date = inputDateFormat.parse (localTime);
        }
        catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace ();
        }

        DateFormat outputDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat (outputFormat);
        formattedTime = outputDateFormat.format (date);
     }
   }
   return formattedTime;
}
