Same date different long time

i've a object Date as for example this date "Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2014" that through this validation:

Date fechaInicio = filtros.containsKey("dateFechaInicio") ? Fecha.getMinDate(Fecha.getFecha(filtros.get("dateFechaInicio").toString())) : Fecha.getMinDate(null);

Where map filtros contains the key "dateFechaFinal" it will to method Fecha.getMaxDate(Date date) that does

    public static Date getMinDate(Date fecha) {
    Calendar fechaMin = Calendar.getInstance();
    fechaMin.setTime(fecha != null ? fecha : new Date());
    fechaMin.set(fechaMin.get(Calendar.YEAR),
                                fechaMin.get(Calendar.MONTH),
                                fecha != null ? fechaMin.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) : fechaMin.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),
                                fechaMin.getActualMinimum(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY),
                                fechaMin.getActualMinimum(Calendar.MINUTE),
                                fechaMin.getActualMinimum(Calendar.SECOND));
    return fechaMin.getTime();
}

And return a new Date, if this method receives a date return this Long time 1406869200806 , but if receives a date equal to null the method takes the first day from month for example "Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2014" but now return this Long time 1406869200000..

"filtros obtained a String that method getFecha() convert to new Date"

Why happen it?

You're only setting values down to the second, so the millisecond part is left at whatever it was from new Date(). Your description isn't entirely clear, but I suspect you just want:

fechaMin.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

Alternatively, use a better API, such as Joda Time or the java.time API in Java 8.
