You can pass the whole Activity and the use getApplicationContext() inside the AsyncTask.

Pass the context as an parameter to you AsyncTask's constructor and store it there as a member. But take care which context type you pass to the constructor.

When the task might run over the lifetime of an Activity then you should pass an Application context instead of an Activity context. When the task only runs for the lifetime of an Activity you can pass the Activity object as context.
