there is a difference in "can be used only once" and "single running
instance is allowed"
The correct is only single running instance is allowed. Once can get the
status through getStatus and can take action accordingly e.g. cancel
if (YourasynchSubClass.getStatus() == AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING)
YourasynchSubClass.cancel(true);
YourasynchSubClass.execute(parms);
