Post data AsyncTask won't execute android

I have this simple code where i do post to a server some data. As this is happening on click where i call the function that starts the asyncTask like this:

save.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                    editProfile();
            }
        });

And here is my editProfile class:

private void editProfile() {
        Log.v("--", "start");
        final String newAddress = address.getText().toString();
        final String newPhone = phone.getText().toString();
        final String newEmail = email.getText().toString();
        final String newStatus = status.getText().toString();
        final String registerURL = "http://myurl/companyapp/"
                + "user.php?action=edit&user_id=" + userID + "&address="
                + newAddress + "&phone=" + newPhone + "&" + "email=" + newEmail
                + "&status=" + newStatus;
        Log.v("--", registerURL);
        new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

            @Override
            protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(registerURL);

                // httppost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                httppost.setHeader("Accept",
                        "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
                // httppost.setHeader("Content-type",
                // "application/json");
                httppost.setHeader("Content-Type",
                        "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

                List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(
                        5);
                nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user_id", userID
                        + ""));
                nameValuePairs
                        .add(new BasicNameValuePair("address", newAddress));
                nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("phone", newPhone));
                nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email", newEmail));
                nameValuePairs
                        .add(new BasicNameValuePair("status", newStatus));

                try {
                    httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs,
                            "UTF-8"));
                } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) {
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                }
                try {
                    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                    test = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
                    if (test.contains("\"success\":true\"")) {
                        Toast.makeText(EditProfile.this,
                                getString(R.string.profile_updated),
                                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        finish();
                    }
                } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                return null;
            }

        }.execute();
    }

In logcat i can see that the function is called but the asyncTask wont start. Can anyone tell me why is this happening?

Seems that this was running, the problem was in the if(test.contains("\"success\":true\"")) - that if statement didn't go true so I can finish the activity
