This worked for me.

public ResponseObject sendPOST(String urlPrefix, JSONObject payload) throws JSONException {
    String line;
    StringBuffer jsonString = new StringBuffer();
    ResponseObject response = new ResponseObject();
    try {

        URL url = new URL(POST_URL);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.setDoOutput(true);
        connection.setReadTimeout(10000);
        connection.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
        connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");

        OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream();
        os.write(payload.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
        os.close();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            jsonString.append(line);
        }
        response.setResponseMessage(connection.getResponseMessage());
        response.setResponseReturnCode(connection.getResponseCode());
        br.close();
        connection.disconnect();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.w("Exception ",e);
        return response;
    }
    String json = jsonString.toString();
    response.setResponseJsonString(json);
    return response;
}
