Alike Dale Wilson said, you can't update UI in doInBackground method. Prefer onPreExecute and onPostExecute methods.

You can also update your message TextView with the result of your doInBackground like that :

private class getinternetData extends AsyncTask{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://www.google.com");
        try{
            //message.setText("333");
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
            //message.setText("444");
            StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
            int statusCode = statusLine.getStatusCode();
            if(statusCode == 200){
                return "Could connect";
            }else
                return "Couldn't connect";
        }catch(Exception e){
            return e.toString();
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        if (result != null)
            message.setText(result);
    }   
}
