Deepak,
Not sure if it will help, but I have a minimal SyncAdapter that, on both
my phone and on a Genymotion emulator, syncs about every 20 minutes (which
is a bit odd, because it is nominally scheduled every 15 minutes).
The docs are, to this day, nearly useless. The example program is so
methods and the actual account creation, are also significant., can you
give more detail about this as I didn't find this in documentation or
forums I read.

They really are fairly different. Loaders are managed AsyncTasks.
AsyncTasks are (pretty much) managed Runnables. Use loaders if you can.

@Lew on 3/14: +many Why, oh why, do people insist on lazy initialization?
A lot of the debate about singletons ignores specifics. I bet nobody has a
problem with:
public static final String MY_CONSTANT = CONSTANT;
That's a singleton. Singletons that are mutable are weirder. Lazily
