You can try this. Calendar is the best solution you are looking at.

Date date=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
                                             .parse("2014-04-17 14:53:25");
Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(date);
calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND,(calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND)-5));

System.out.println(calendar.getTime());

Out put:
