An Asynctask doesn't depend on Activity life-cycle that contains it. Like if we start an AsyncTask inside an Activity and then we rotates the device, the Activity will be destroyed at that point but the AsyncTask will remain same or not die until it completes.

Then, when the AsyncTask complete its background work its directly updates Activity ui without creating new instance of activity or without affecting activity lifecycle.

Theres also the potential for this to result in a memory leak since the AsyncTask maintains a reference to the Activty, which prevents the Activity from being garbage collected as long as the AsyncTask remains alive.

For these reasons, using AsyncTasks for long-running background tasks is generally a bad idea . Rather, for long-running background tasks, a different mechanism like service or intent service should be used.

Example :

 private class AsyncTasks  extends AsyncTask<String, Void, JSONObject> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();

    }

    @Override
    protected JSONObject doInBackground(String... param) {
      //Perform some background opearations here

       jsonObject =  PostDataToUrl(url);

        return jsonObject;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(JSONObject jsonObject) {
        super.onPostExecute(jsonObject);

    }
}
