TimerTask and Broadcast Receiver onReceive

Question

I have multiple times onReceive triggered with different data for intent during each occurence. I need to combine all the intent data into a list of intents inside a background thread. How can I achieve this? I tried using timer task, but couldn't achieve the same. Is there any other way? Kindly explain with examples as I don't have much knowledge on background thread BlockingQueue cannot be used as It will block UI thread for a long time is what I saw in stackoverflow.

You could use AsyncTask and do you operations in the doInBackground()-method. Check out Android's AsyncTask documentation . (Was deprecated in Android R, however)
