You should use async task and override onProgressUpdate()

 @Override
 protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
     Log.i("Value", values[0].toString());
     count++;
     progressBar.setProgress(count);
 }

Take a look at this link. Download a file with Android, and showing the progress in a ProgressDialog. The answer in the link should help you.
