Need a CountdownTimer that is Accurate and can be Paused android

Question

I have a countdown timer that counts down from 60 to 0 seconds. I've been having fun (not!) trying to get CountDownTimer to work with a pause and be accurate as far as the Timing.

android CountDownTimer - additional milliseconds delay between ticks

The above link fixes the inaccuracies somewhat, but display sometimes starts at 60 seconds and sometimes at 59 seconds.

In addition, I need to be able to pause the timer. I tried using this implementation for pause, but this implementation was based on Android's CountDownTimer and has the inaccuracies discussed in the first link:

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement a CountDownTimer with pause that is accurate?
