converting timestamp to relative time in android

Timestamp which I use is in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" now I want it to convert it into corresponding relative time . Have searched a lot on this topic . I know DateUtils can be used to do this , but I cannot find any method in DateUtils that uses Timestamp as a parameter.
