Try following code, worked for me

 if(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes( millisUntilFinished)==0<put min here> && TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) - 
                    TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished))==50<put your seconds here>)
            {
             display.setText("CountDownTimer Canceled");
             countDownTimer.cancel();   
            }

Hope this will help
