NumberFormat bracketted text to negative numbers

Question

Im displaying a negative amount in an Activity using

  double value = -1.0;
  NumberFormat defaultFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
  String formattedText = defaultFormat.format(value);

But when i run this on Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 4.4.2) I'm getting ($1.0) where as Nexus 5 (Android 5.1.1) gives it as -$1.0.

What is the issue here ?

Thanks to @Bonati

public static String formatAmount(double value) {
        NumberFormat numberFormat = new DecimalFormat("'$'0.00");
        return numberFormat.format(value);
    }

This works fine for me.
