I think you'll find solution here. The main point is that cancel method raises InterruptedException. Please check if your thread is still running after cancellation? Are you sure that you didn't try to interrupt finished thread? Are you sure that your thread didn't fail with any other Exception? Try to set up UncaughtExceptionHandler.
