Yes, usually AsyncTask is only able to be run once. Restarting the same task may give you a little trouble though due to this. If you have something that needs to run over and over again I would suggest that you look into starting a service and loop the task you need to keep running in its own thread and just make it sleep for the needed amount of time. As long as you have the activity running in its own thread in a service you can loop it and make it repeat infinitely as long as you allow the service to run.
