I suggest to use the Joda library for time

for example:

public boolean isAfterPayDay(DateTime datetime) {
 if (datetime.getMonthOfYear() == 2) {
 // February is month 2!!
 return datetime.getDayOfMonth() > 26;
 }
 return datetime.getDayOfMonth() > 28;
 }

You can implement this piece of code

public String getTimeDiff(long secondsTimeDiff)
{       
    long secondsInOneDay = 84600;
    int maxDaysAgo = 15;

    if ( secondsTimeDiff < secondsInOneDay)
    {
        return "today";
    }
    else if ( secondsTimeDiff < 2*secondsInOneDay)
    {
         return "1 day";
    }
    else if ( secondsTimeDiff < maxDaysAgo*secondsInOneDay)
    {
        int days = (int) (secondsTimeDiff / secondsInOneDay);
        return days + " day";
    }
    else
    {
        //use normal DateUtils logic here...
        return "....";
    }
}

Hope it would be helpful to you!!
