Timers are paused when the activity is paused. Timers are not accurate as they run in the main thread.
You should instead compare the current time to the start time with DateTime.Now.

There is a Chronometer (stopwatch) example in the Clocks library. You could use the Chronometer for timing and make it not visible or place it off the screen if you don't want to see it.
