Timer on onDraw

start button -> game.class -> gameview.class then loop again on game.class when player finish the 1st level to generate again the 2nd level on gameview.class. My problem is that my timer will also regenerate and restarts when going on the 2nd level. How can I make my timer pause and resume in this kind of flow of game?

on my Game.Class:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
timeCounter = new TimeCounter();

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Intent intent = getIntent();
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    this.maze = (Maze) getLastNonConfigurationInstance();
    if (this.maze == null) {
        this.maze = (Maze) extras.get("maze");
    }
    gview = new GameView(this);
    gview.setTimeCounter(timeCounter);
    gview.setMaze(this.maze);
    setContentView(gview);

and on my GameView.Class:

protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
if (startTimer) {
        timeCounter.start();
        invalidate();
        int secondss = timeCounter.getTimeSeconds();
        String text = String.format("%02d:%02d", secondss / 60,
                secondss % 60);
        timer.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length(), textBounds);
        canvas.drawText(text, (this.getWidth() - textBounds.right) - 5,
                (this.getHeight() - textBounds.bottom) - 5, timer);
    }

and when the 1st level finish it will call this method:

void shownextmaze() {
    Random rand = new Random();
    Intent game = new Intent(context, Game.class);
    nextmaze = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;

    Maze maze = MazeCreator.getMaze(nextmaze);
    game.putExtra("maze", maze);
    context.startActivity(game);
    timeCounter.resume();

}

How can I make my timer run until the 4 levels are cleared?
