I guess getParent() or getApplicationContext() should do the work pass the parameter to the class and have a local context object .Let me know if it fails

Well, one of the way is to use a static variable in your activity.

public static Context myContext;

then update it in onCreate.. 

onCreate()
{
    myContext = getApplicationContext();
}

Other way is to pass the context in the constructor of your class...

you can try to make a separate method for your toast

public void showToast(String message){

    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}//end showToast

and then call that in your inner class.

You can pass your Activity's Context to your UpdateRunnable class in constructor and use it then in your run() function.

However if you are showing Toast from an inner class then that inner class, probably, shouldn't be a static class at all. You can remove static keyword and use your Activity's getContext() in run() then.

Why do you want your inner class static?
