Add a checker to your AsyncTask such as

// Background ASYNC Task to login by making HTTP Request 
class LoginEmployer extends AsyncTask { 

boolean validUser = false;

Then once the user is validated inside your background task set the value to true

 if (Integer.parseInt(res) == 1) { 
      // user successfully logged in 
      // Store user details in SQLite Database 

     validUser = true;  //set valid to true

Now in postExecute check if the user is valid

protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) { 
    // dismiss the dialog once done 
    pDialog.dismiss(); 
    if ( validUser )
    {
        Intent homepage = new Intent( LoginEmployerActivity.this, 
        HomepageEmployerActivity.class); 

        // Close all views before launching Employer 
        // homePage 
         homepage.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); 
         startActivity(homepage); 
    }
