Answer 1

you can use a TimerTask to which you can start in the doInBackround() with the schedule for 60 seconds. in the run() of the TimerTask just call the stop for the async task.

Answer 2

If I understand your question correctly, you already know how to abandon the task after n seconds, but you need to know IF it was abandoned?

According to AsyncTask docs it'll throw a TimeoutException.

Do something like:

try {
    //your AsyncTask code
} catch(TimeoutException ex) {
    //your timeout code
}
