long timer = 10000;
public Boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) 
{
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

       final MenuItem  counter = menu.findItem(R.id.counter);
        new CountDownTimer(timer, 1000) {

          public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
             long millis = millisUntilFinished; 
             String  hms = (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis))+":"+(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis) -TimeUnit.HOURS.toMinutes(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(millis)))+":"+ (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis))); 

             counter.setTitle(hms);
             timer = millis;

            }

        public void onFinish() {
             counter.setTitle("done!");
            }
         }.start();

         return  true;
