                HttpPost request = new HttpPost(
                        "http://grpsvil-webservice.si2001.it/RestChannelApp.svc/CheckCoupon");
                // request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
                request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

                try {
                    // Build JSON string
                    JSONStringer vehicle = new JSONStringer()
                            .object()
                            .key("CouponVerificationCode")
                            .value("adf")
                            .key("ApiKey")
                            .value("adfadf123")
                            .key("Token")
                            .value("fgsg342==")
                            .endObject();
                    Log.v("--", vehicle.toString());
                    StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(vehicle.toString());

                    request.setEntity(entity);

                    // Send request to WCF service
                    DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
                    int resCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
                    Log.v("--", response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + "");

                    if (resCode == 200) {

                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + "",
                                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity()
                                        .getContent()));
                        String line = "";
                        StringBuffer returnFromServer = new StringBuffer();

                        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                            returnFromServer.append(line);
                        }
                        // Toast what we got from server
                        Log.v("--", "!@# " + returnFromServer.toString());

                        if (entity != null) {
                            entity.consumeContent();
                        }

                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // TODO: handle exception
                }
                Intent i = new Intent(Splash.this, Login.class);
                startActivity(i);
                finish();
                return null;
            }

Try sending the verification code like this

ArrayList<NameValuePair> parms = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("CouponVerificationCode", adf));
parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("ApiKey", adfadf123));
parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Token", fgsg342==));

httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(parms));

So your overall code will be

HttpPost request = new HttpPost(
                    "http://grpsvil-webservice.si2001.it/RestChannelApp.svc/CheckCoupon");
            // request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

            try {
                ArrayList<NameValuePair> parms = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
                parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("CouponVerificationCode", adf));
                parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("ApiKey", adfadf123));
                parms.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Token", fgsg342==));
                request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(parms));
                request.setEntity(entity);

                // Send request to WCF service
                DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);

                int resCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
                Log.v("--", response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() + "");

The URL returns 404 not found. Just because it shows some fancy error text in the browser, doesn't mean the status code is 200 OK. This is the HTTP response that I get:
