[android-developers] Blocked my UI thread by background service

What i need to do

=============

1. I need to get Latitude & longitude every 1 min.

2. after getting this lat & long, i need to call one web service through which i have to send <latitude, longitude, TAG>

TAG is kind of "ON" or "OFF" text :  that can be set on button press event.

 

What i have done

=============

1. i created one simple service that can be use to get lat & long 

and also use AsynTask inside the service for calling a webservice

 

2. i have use Time class for ping after every 1 min.

3. now i need to add TAG value inside the background service using on button pressed event : that i have already done 

[ like : 

Intent i = new Intent(this, BackgroundService.class); 

i.putExtra("TAG","ON"); 

startService(i); 

]

My Problem

=========

it block my UI thread after every 1 min. , means when my time is going to ping a backgroundService for finding a lat & long at that time it will block my UI for few seconds.

so how can i prevent my UI thread ??

Note : for start & stop to the background service, i have use Handler class & Message class 

please help me i'm stuck in this scenario since last 2 to 3 days, i didn't find any single way to prevent my UI thread.

thank you.
