Create A Global Variable of Timer

CountDownTimer mTimer = null;

on PreExecute() write

@Override
protected  void onPreExecute()
{
  mTimer = new CountDownTimer(240000, 1000) { // adjust the milli seconds here

            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                String time=""+String.format("%d min, %d sec",
                        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes( millisUntilFinished),
                        TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millisUntilFinished) -
                                TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millisUntilFinished)));
                Toast.makeText(context, time, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            public void onFinish() {

                Intent i=new Intent(context,MainActivity.class);
                context.startActivity(i);
                Toast.makeText(context, "oops! Pls check your net connection", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
        }.start();
}

now on postExecute() write

@Override
protected  void onPostExecute()
{
  mTimer.cancel();
}
