public boolean isConnectingToInternet() {
        ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) _context
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if (connectivity != null) {
            NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo();
            if (info != null)
                for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++)
                    if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
                        return true;
                    }

        }
        return false;

Try this -

    private ConnectivityManager conMgr;
    private NetworkInfo activeNetwork;

    conMgr =  (ConnectivityManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        activeNetwork = conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        if (activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnected()) {
// Do your task 
}

No. Its also checks internet connection is available or not.its working in my code.Try it.. – yuva ツ Oct 15 '14 at 07:05
ok if it is normal internet as well as wifi, is it working or not? – user3728511 Oct 15 '14 at 07:17
Yes its working for both..I'm using it in both condition data plan and wi-fi.I think you haven't tried it.Be sure before commenting from next time – yuva ツ Oct 15 '14 at 07:21

In the if condition you will start your asynctask for performing network operation (Your above code).in the catch block you can handle this condition – yuva ツ Oct 15 '14 at 10:10
