    }

}

no error appear and not send mail in sender mail and no mail in receiver mail inbox.

Answer 1

You need to import lib BackgroundMailLibrary

 BackgroundMail bm = new BackgroundMail(PasswordChangeActivity.this);
                                            bm.setGmailUserName(mail id);
                                            bm.setGmailPassword(Utils.decryptIt(password)); 
                                            bm.setMailTo(ownerEmail);
                                            bm.setFormSubject(subject);
                                            bm.setFormBody(body);
                                            bm.send();

Answer 3

mail send from background...

you can use javaMail to send mail from background
first of all you need to add these three .jar file...
Download these jar files

(1) Activation.jar : http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/a/Downloadactivationjar.htm
(2) Additionnal.jar: http://code.google.com/p/javamail-android/downloads/detail?name=additionnal.jar&can=2&q=
(3) mail.jar: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/m/Downloadmailjar.htm

And then use these below code:
MainActivity.java
