Execute multiple messages(Runnables) then he should use the Looper class which is responsible for creating a queue in the thread. For example, while writing an application that downloads files from the internet, we can use Looper class to put files to be downloaded in the queue. This will help you to perform async task in android...

HandlerThread hThread = new HandlerThread("HandlerThread");
  hThread.start();
  Handler handler = new Handler(hThread.getLooper());
  final Handler handler1 = new Handler(hThread.getLooper());
  final long oneMinuteMs = 60 * 1000;

  Runnable eachMinute = new Runnable() { 
   @Override
   public void run() {
    Log.d(TAG, "Each minute task executing");
    handler1.postDelayed(this, oneMinuteMs);
    sendPostRequest();
   }
  };
 // sendPostRequest();
  // Schedule the first execution
  handler1.postDelayed(eachMinute, oneMinuteMs);
