You can use the same code as used in splashScreen.

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            /*
             * Showing splash screen with a timer.
             */

            @Override
            public void run() {
                // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                Intent i = new Intent(Act1.this, Act2.class);
                startActivity(i);
                // close this activity
                finish();
            }
        }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);

Send the starting time of the timer to another activity via an intent. So:

long timerStarted = System.currentTimeMillis();

Intent intent = new Intent(this, AnotherActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("timerStarted", timerStarted);

Then in the next activity use 

getIntent().getLongExtra("timerStarted", System.currentTimeMillis());

You will keep the timer consistent with its start time in the previous activity.
