Answer 1

A broadcast receiver might come handy:

BroadcastReceiver networkStateReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Connection reset, rolling back", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    };

It is also battery friendly.

Also dont forget to unregister it: (onDestroy())

getActivity().unregisterReceiver(networkStateReceiver);
