private class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
     protected String doInBackground(String... str) {
         //return str[0];
         return null; 
     }

     protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {

     }

     protected void onPostExecute(String result) {

     }
 }

new MyTask().execute("MSG body");
