This is the code which conduct the post request and requests server in the form of json.

{"emailId":"test123@gmail.com","emailIdOTP":"123456","phoneNo":"1111111111"}

AsyncTask:

public class GetAsynTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {

        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

            try {
                // Creating & connection Connection with url and required Header.
                URL url = new URL(JWT_URL);
                HttpsURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
                urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");   //POST or GET
                urlConnection.connect();

                // Create JSONObject Request
                JSONObject jsonRequest = new JSONObject();
                jsonRequest.put("emailId", "test123@gmail.com");
                jsonRequest.put("emailIdOTP", "123456");
                jsonRequest.put("phoneNo", "1111111111");


                // Write Request to output stream to server.
                OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
                out.write(jsonRequest.toString());
                out.close();

                // Check the connection status.
                int statusCode = urlConnection.getResponseCode();

                // Connection success. Proceed to fetch the response.
                if (statusCode == 200) {
                    InputStream it = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
                    InputStreamReader read = new InputStreamReader(it);
                    BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(read);
                    StringBuilder dta = new StringBuilder();
                    String chunks;
                    while ((chunks = buff.readLine()) != null) {
                        dta.append(chunks);
                    }
                    String returndata = dta.toString();
                    return returndata;
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(SplashActivity.this, "Something went wrong", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String resultData) {
            super.onPostExecute(resultData);
            try {
                JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(resultData);
               String name= obj.getString("name");
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
