In Middle of the process application closes in android?

Question

I have one activity which download data from the web. In middle of the downloading process application closes if I start downloading process more than one time. I am using AsyncTask to download data and Runnable to get the steps completed and. Here is my code. Do I have to remove callback for handler at finish of the task? If i put remove callback in pause or destroy method it gives force close error.

mBackgroundHandler = new Handler();
mRunnable = new Runnable()
{
    public void run()
    {
        mCounterProgress = KamaApplication.getStep();
        Log.v(TAG, "Progress: " + mCounterProgress);
        mRefreshProgress.setProgress(mCounterProgress);
        mRefreshProgress.invalidate();

        if(KamaApplication.getTotalStep() == 100 && KamaApplication.getStep() == 99)
        {
            mStop = true;
        }

        if(!mStop)
        {
            mBackgroundHandler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
        }
    }
};
mBackgroundHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 1000);

Here is my AsyncTask

private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> 
{
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) 
    {
        try 
        {
            StepsGeneratorInputJsonData stepsGeneratorInputJsonData = new StepsGeneratorInputJsonData();
            stepsGeneratorInputJsonData.provider = "Android";
            stepsGeneratorInputJsonData.identification = "Vogue";
            stepsGeneratorInputJsonData.password = "abcd";
            mResult = createAndExecuteStepsGenerator(stepsGeneratorInputJsonData);
            JSONObject mNewJSONObject = new JSONObject(mResult);
            String mEndDate = mNewJSONObject.getString("endDate");
            if(mEndDate.equals("null"))
            {
                mRefreshSuccess = false;
            }
            else
            {
                mRefreshSuccess = true;
            }

        } 
        catch (Exception eException) 
        {
            Log.v(TAG, "HotTestGettingError: " + eException.toString());
            mRefreshSuccess = false;
        }
        return null;
   }
   protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) 
   { }
   protected void onPostExecute(Void result) 
   {
        if(mRefreshSuccess)
        {
            insertData();
        }
        else
        {
            Message mMessage = new  Message();
            mMessage.what = 0;
            mHandler.sendMessage(mMessage);
        }
        mBackgroundHandler.removeCallbacks(mRunnable);
        updateDisplay();
    }
}

And I saw the logcat and got this :

06-25 12:08:28.007: INFO/WindowManager(128): WIN DEATH: Window{408fc1d8 com.mygosoftware.kama/com.mygosoftware.kama.Usage paused=false}

I have put in AndroidManifest file

<activity android:name=".Usage" android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true">

and also set

 intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

and also put onPause() method in my activity.

Moreover, I have referred this link Activity restarts on Force Close. Mine is very similar problem. I have done everything what they written in answer but still getting the error.

What should I do to remove this error?

Thanks.

private void startDownload() {
