// 84600000 milliseconds in a day
long oneDay = 1 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
// to add to the timestamp
timestampTo.setTime(timestampTo.getTime() + oneDay);

Does the OP need to take into account leap seconds and perhaps
non-gregorian calendars? If so, it might be safer (though more work) to
parse the timestamp into a Date Object of the appropriate calendar type,
increment the date by one day, and then convert back to a timestamp.
