I have a main background thread that's doing work that's needed
to be done relatively quickly...i.e. update the screen.
But there are times where I might have to do some additional work
(that's not that much of a priority - i was thinking of making that
an AsyncTask.
The notify/wait was a generic question - whether those can be used
and/or recommended for use under the android platform.

You should say something about what you are trying to accomplish. Starting an AsyncTask from a background thread is already a bit odd... waiting for it to complete (which you imply with your comments about .wait and .notify) is downright nuts.--Did you know that onPostExecute will be run on the thread on which the AsyncTask is created, provided that thread is a Looper? If you just init your background thread as a Looper, you might be able to use the AsyncTask normally...-blakeG. Blake MeikeMarakanaProgramming Android 2ed is now in stores:

Preferably w/o starting a new thread. Help!
Also, is java threads as in (new Thread()) frowned upon in android.
I think i read somewhere .notify() .wait() etc. should not be used.
