@Override
public void run(){

    try{

    while(true) {
        Thread.sleep(200);   
        System.out.println("Thread is running");

    }
   }
   catch(InterruptedException ex){
   System.out.println("Exception Occur");
   }

InterruptedException is thrown in response to Thread.interrupt being invoked on the Thread instance managing the thread in which you call sleep. You can easily test it by calling that method yourself, even within the same thread where you call sleep. Just precede that call with Thread.currentThread().interrupt() and see what happens.

As I know, InterruptedException is generated when you try to kill/interrupt the thread that is sleeping.
