You have this way to work with asyntask and wait();

public class yourAsynctask extends AsyncTask {
    public boolean inWait;
    public boolean stopWork; 

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        inWait = false;
        stopWork = false;
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        synchronized (this) {
            while(true) {
                if(stopWork) return null;
                if(youHaveWork) {
                    //make some
                } else {
                    try {
                        wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

    public void mynotify() {
        synchronized (this) {
            if(inWait) {
                notify();
                inWait = false;
            }
        }
    }

    public void setStopWork() {
        synchronized (this) {
            stopWork = false;
            if(inWait) {
                notify();
                inWait = false;
            }
        }
    }
}
