Android Question How to start httputil2service in foreground while the app is in background?

My app works fine in foreground; if I put it in the background by tapping Home button, after 3 successful httpjob calls, the app crashed with following error messages during the 4th httpjob call.
Could someone kindly give me som hint on how to fix the error, please?
