Android set last modified time for the file

I have been using " public boolean setLastModified (long time) " for setting the file modified time but it always return false. I have seen few similar posts related to this but none of them could work for me. can someone give me solution for this?

Please do not post me any URL's, I have already seen them :

file.lastModified() is never what was set with file.setLastModified()

Is it possible to reset the last modified date of an Android file?

You are told to test the return value, false if it is fail. Disappointed to find out about that...

setLastModified() is apparently unreliable on Android, perhaps working on some devices and not on others.
