Here is a sample code:

DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) getView().findViewById(R.id.your_datepicker_id);   

final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, c.getMinimum(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, c.getMinimum(Calendar.MINUTE));
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, c.getMinimum(Calendar.SECOND));
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, c.getMinimum(Calendar.MILLISECOND));

Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();

datePicker.updateDate(now.year, now.month, now.monthDay);
datePicker.setMinDate(c.getTimeInMillis());

Please note above that you must set MinDate value to the minimum time of the current day and not just the time which is 1 or 2 seconds behind the current time. This takes care of a well know problem of Datepicker in Android.

Use setMinDate method (minimum API 11):

datePicker.setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000);

You can also try this:

da.getDatePicker().setMinDate(newDate.getTime()-(newDate.getTime()%(24*60*60*1000)));

It basically subtracts the current date by the current offset of the day.

You can get date of 1 day after current day with this:

c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);

So by using

c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);

You are setting date of tomorrow as Minimum date. So just change that to

c.add(Calendar.DATE, 0);

And it should set today's date as minimum date in datepicker.

Hope it helps.
