To perform background process in Android you have 3 best options:

1) Thread

2) Service

3) ASYCN task

All these three are for the same purpose for which you are looking.

To stop Thread:

In general, you don't forcibly stop threads because it's dangerous. You set a flag that tells the thread in question to exit from it's thread loop under controlled circumstances.

Your thread loop looks something along these lines:

void run() {
  while (shouldContinue) {
    doThreadWorkUnit();
  }
}
