title: AsyncTask in BroadcastReceiver in Android gives sending message to a Handler on a dead thread error
body: <p>I have implemented Push Notification in my appliction. Once the push message is received I call a webservice with the help of AsyncTask. This works fine when the application is being used or is in the memory. But if I stop the application from settings and then if the message is pushed to the device, there is an exception such as "sending message to a Handler on a dead thread". This is probably since the app is not live. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone let me know if its alright to actually remove AsyncTask from push notification receiver and just handle the message?</p>
  
  <p>Regards
  Sunil</p>
