    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
        super.onProgressUpdate(values);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        if(result.equals("Registration Success..."))
        {
            Toast.makeText(ctx, result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        else
        {
            alertDialog.setMessage(result);
            alertDialog.show();
        }

    }
}

You can put intent in your onPostExecute method like this :

@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        if(result == null)
        {
            // do what you want to do
        }
        else if(result.equals("Registration Success..."))
        {
            Toast.makeText(ctx, result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
        else if(result.contains("Login Success")) // msg you get from success like "Login Success"
        {
            Intent i = new Intent(ctx,NewActivity.class);
            ctx.startActivity(i);
            alertDialog.setMessage(result);
            alertDialog.show();
        }

    }

Edit : If you want to call new activity after login success then put intent in else part.
