Here is the very nice tutorial of simple countdown timer. Go through it and you will be able to achieve what you want.

Or A Stitch in Time is the efficient way to implement the stop watch type app from developer.android.com and yes it uses the format you required.

You can try this:

private String stringForTime(int timeMs) {
    StringBuilder mFormatBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    Formatter mFormatter = new Formatter(mFormatBuilder, Locale.getDefault());

    int totalSeconds = timeMs / 1000;

    int seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
    int minutes = (totalSeconds / 60) % 60;
    int hours   = totalSeconds / 3600;

    mFormatBuilder.setLength(0);
    if (hours > 0) {
        return mFormatter.format("%d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds).toString();
    } else {
        return mFormatter.format("%02d:%02d", minutes, seconds).toString();
    }
}
