I have a String like that : String date_annonce = "2014-06-12 17:25:43";
I would like to show in my app a text like : 10 min ago or 1h ago or 2d ago
It represent the difference from date_annonce and actual date.
How can i do this ?

see this DateUtil method
String relativeString = getRelativeDateTimeString (this, System.currentTimeMillis(), DateUtils.MINUTE_IN_MILLIS,DateUtils.WEEK_IN_MILLIS, 0));

you have to subtract System.currentTimeMillis() from data_annonce in milliseconds. To convert it milliseconds you can use SimpleDateFormat to get a Date object from the string.

The OP would also have to do some rounding to the nearest time component (minute, hour, day, week, etc.) to create a nice representation. – Chnoch Jun 20 '14 at 11:34
