I have been researching from the last 2 weeks and I don't get to know that how we kill the Async operation manually. Some developers use BREAK; while checking in for loop. But on my scenario I am not using the loop inside of background thread. But I have got to know how it woks its a stupid logic but works perfectly fine.

downloadFile.cancel(true);   //This code wont work in any case.

Instead of canceling and doing so much work on background thread turn off the wifi programmatically

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(false);

where do you want to kill the operation and turn on it where do you need that.

WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wifi.setWifiEnabled(true);

What happens is your try block jumps in to the IOException killing the background tasks.
