Close runOnUiThread

Question

I have an AsyncTask running and in this thread I start a runOnUiThread to manipulate my views. If I close my AsyncTask, the runOnUiThread runs still 1 time longer after I closed my AsyncTask. How can I close the runOnUiThread? Thanks!

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
    while(running.get()) {

        // Background thread sleeps
        try {
            Thread.sleep(produceRadwaste_countdown * 1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // UI thread touching some view elements
        activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                radwasteTon.incrementStack();
            }
        });

        // Delete thread if player is game over
        if(GameLogic.isGameOver()) {
            clearThreads();
        }
    }

    return "Running";
}

public void clearThreads() {
    running.set(false);
    this.cancel(true);
}

Can I propose different solution?

Implement onProgressUpdate(Params...) method in AsyncTask. Then you can call publishProgess from doInBackground(Params...);

onProgressUpdate(Params...) will be run on ui thread.
