You can do it like this :

private MyAsyncTask createAsyncTask(){
    if (myAsyncTask == null){
        return myAsyncTask = new MyAsyncTask();
    }
        myAsyncTask.cancel(true);
        return myAsyncTask = new MyAsyncTask();
 }

and then you can use it :

createAsyncTask().execute();

this make a new instance of your background task everytime.
