    In the onDestroy() method of the Activity, set a flag to indicate that the Activity was destroyed.

    Additionally, in the AsyncTask add a WeakReference to the Activity instead of a normal reference.

    In the onPostExecute() method of the AsyncTask, the Activity is still alive if the WeakReference still has a value, and the Activity itself still has the flag set to false.
