Julius,
You mentioned IntentService, which runs your code on a background thread.
Even though Toast can supposedly be shown from any thread, I'd try
changing the code so that you show the toast from the UI thread. That's
easy to do with a Handler and a small Runnable subclass.

Hi Kostya,
I'm not sure how to access the UI thread from within an IntentService. (If in
an Activity I would use runOnUiThread)
So far I have:
private void showToastOnUIThread(final Toast toast) {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
Yes, that's pretty close to what I had in mind - assuming that the
handler is created on the UI thread, such as inside the service's
onCreate().
And I would marshal the message string, not the Toast object, so you
don't even have to instantiate Toast objects in the worker thread.

You're not calling it over and over again are you?

Yeah it's definitely being hit just once (I put a break point in).
I'll try out dismissing it if the IntentService is destroyed.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Regards,
Julius.
