android DateUtils showing future time after convert timestamp to time ago

Question

I am trying to convert timestamp to time ago format, i am getting future time like in 5 hours instead of 1 min ago. My timestamp 1500030220000. below id my code.

 CharSequence timeAgo = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
                Long.parseLong(eventlist.gettimestamp()),
                System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);
        holder.timestamp.setText(timeAgo);

in my PHP i am using strtotime to convert datetime to timestamp

date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
$timestamp = strtotime($row["date"])*1000;

when i check the date and time in timestamp converter website

its giving accurate result. but in my app its showing in 5 hours. do need to set any timezone in app ?

Your server time is GMT so whenever the time get from the server you need to add your local GMT time. — Andy Developer, Jul 14 '17 at 07:10
In android. You can not do it on PHP because it connect with server and server time is idle in GMT which access by glob level. So whenever you get the time you need to add or deduct the local GMT from the actual time you get. — Andy Developer, Jul 14 '17 at 07:14

if anybody looking for the same solution. below is my code

int gmtOffset = TimeZone.getDefault().getRawOffset();

        CharSequence timeAgo = DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(
                Long.parseLong(eventlist.gettimestamp()),
                System.currentTimeMillis()+gmtOffset, DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS);
        holder.timestamp.setText(timeAgo);

adding getRawoffset(); its working perfetc
