Accepted Answer

It might be easier to use this

```
ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "",

To cancel would be

```
    dialog.dismiss();

This class was deprecated in API level 26.

Alternatively, you can use a notification to inform the user of the task's progress.For more details Click Here
