implementing refresh-like button on android

I'm developping an application in android which consumes a wcf web-service.

What I currently want to do is implement a refresh button,

In case the user exits the application and he is currently in an activity that may be projecting the "dirty" data from the service.

I reload activity from a thread.

The thread is also responsible for consuming the wcf and re-providing the data.

So I start the new (same)activity from this separate thread and I finish the current activity from the ui-thread of the activity.

The thing is that this doesn't work well all the time,meaning sometimes the ui-thread finishes first so I go one activity back before the same is reloaded.

I tried to put a sleep but the thing is that it won't show the activity which is started from the separate thread before the time elapses.

Also I don't want to try different time-periods since this is obviously depended on the data from the wcf so it won't work for every time.

My question is how can I synchronize these actions?
