How do i set up a DelayQueue's Delay

Question

I\'m just starting out coding in java i\'m in struggling with setting up a DelayQueue,

I wanted to have it so,

DelayQueue queue = new DelayQueue();

import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.DelayQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.Delayed;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class DelayQueueExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        BlockingQueue blockingQueue = new DelayQueue();

        try {
            blockingQueue
                    .put(new DelayedElement(4000, "Message with delay 4s"));
            blockingQueue
                    .put(new DelayedElement(2000, "Message with delay 2s"));
            blockingQueue
                    .put(new DelayedElement(9000, "Message with delay 9s"));
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
        }

        while (!blockingQueue.isEmpty()) {
            try {
                System.out.println(">>" + blockingQueue.take());
            } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            }

        }

    }
}

class DelayedElement implements Delayed {

    private long duration = 0;
    private String message;

    public DelayedElement(long duration, String name) {
        this.duration = System.currentTimeMillis() + duration;
        this.message = name;
    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Delayed o) {
        return (int) (this.duration - ((DelayedElement) o).getDuration());
    }

    @Override
    /*
     * Expiration occurs when an element's getDelay(TimeUnit unit) method
     * returns a value less than or equal to zero.
     */
    public long getDelay(TimeUnit unit) {
        long diff = duration - System.currentTimeMillis();
        return unit.convert(diff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }

    public long getDuration() {
        return duration;
    }

    public void setDuration(long duration) {
        this.duration = duration;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "DelayedElement [duration=" + duration + ", message=" + message
                + "]";
    }

}
