Try using this code, it worked on my TAB2.

public class CityAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String , String,String>
{

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

         Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(LatLongActivity.this, Locale.getDefault());
            try
            {
                List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
                Log.e("Addresses","-->"+addresses);
                result = addresses.get(0).toString();
            }
            catch (IOException e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        return result;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(LatLongActivity.this);
        alert.setTitle("ADDRESS");
        alert.setMessage(result);
        alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
        alert.setCancelable(false);
        alert.show();
    }
}
