Below is MyServiceProfile code. In this code first I am checking Internet connectivity and aftr tht If User is offline, data saved in local database and during Internet Connection automatically Update on our server

public class MyServiceProf extends Service {
Timer t = new Timer();
public TimerTask mTimerTask;
private ConnectivityManager connectivityManager;
final Handler handler = new Handler();
private int nCounter = 0;
Context context = this;

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

public void onCreate() {


}

@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    mTimerTask = new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            handler.post(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    nCounter++;
                    connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

    final android.net.NetworkInfo wifi = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);

    final android.net.NetworkInfo mobile = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);

    if (wifi.isAvailable()) {

        mTimerTask.cancel();

        try{
        new myPostData().execute();
        }catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
        }

    } else if (mobile.isAvailable()) {

        mTimerTask.cancel();
        try{

            new myPostData().execute();

        }catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
        }

    } else {

    //  Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"You are trying to access online content but Internet Connection has been disconnected!!!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }

        }
    });

    Log.d("TIMER", "TimerTask run");
        }
    };

    // public void schedule (TimerTask task, long delay, long period)
    t.schedule(mTimerTask, 0, 10000); //

}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    try {
        t.cancel();

        handler.removeCallbacks(mTimerTask);

    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
    }


//  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), " Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

public class myPostData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        HttpProfilePost proupdate = new HttpProfilePost();

        String mMyprofileImagename[] = DatabaseHalper.mStudentImgNm.get(0).split("/");

        File sdcardPathofprofileimg = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/data/.System/MProfile/" +mMyprofileImagename[1]);

        Bitmap mBitmapimageofMyProfilepic = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(sdcardPathofprofileimg.getAbsolutePath());

        DatabaseHalper dbhelper = new DatabaseHalper(getBaseContext());
        dbhelper.Get_ZoomiProfile_Data();

        proupdate.HttpClient_Profile_Post(context,DatabaseHalper.mStudentRollNo.get(0),
                DatabaseHalper.mStudentName.get(0),

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);
    }
}

}

My Update on server Http link code is below:

public class HttpProfilePost {
private JSONObject jsonResponse;
private Bitmap myPic;
private ByteArrayOutputStream bos;
private byte[] data;
/*private ByteArrayBody bab;
private MultipartEntity reqEntity;*/
private InputStream is;

public JSONObject HttpClient_Profile_Post(Context c,String stud_rollno, String stud_name,String stud_address, String stud_emrgperson, String stud_emrgcontact, String stud_email, String stud_bloodgrp, String stud_mobileno, Bitmap myPhoto){

    mContext=c;
    mPref = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(mContext);

    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

    String mStudentUserid= mPref.getString("Userid", "" );
    String myImage[] = DatabaseHalper.mStudentImgNm.get(0).split("/");
    String profileimagepath = myImage[0];

    stud_name = URLEncoder.encode(stud_name);
    stud_address = URLEncoder.encode(stud_address);
    stud_emrgperson = URLEncoder.encode(stud_emrgperson);
    stud_emrgcontact = URLEncoder.encode(stud_emrgcontact);
    stud_email = URLEncoder.encode(stud_email);
    stud_bloodgrp = URLEncoder.encode(stud_bloodgrp);


//  HttpPost mURL = new HttpPost("http://10.160.0.18:86/Service.svc/testpersondatapost?uid="+mStudentUserid+"&stdname="+stud_name+"&stdmail="+stud_email+"&Add="+stud_address+"&Qual=xyz&Qual_add=abc&pro_expert=abc&achieve=abc&Cont_no="+stud_mobileno+"&othr1=abc&othr2=abc&othr3=abc&proimgpath="+profileimagepath+"&UT=Student&Emer_ContPer="+stud_emrgperson+"&Emer_Cont_no="+stud_emrgcontact+"&Bld_Grp="+stud_bloodgrp+"&Addi_Notes"+;

    HttpPost postrequest = new HttpPost(mURL);

        try {
            postrequest.setEntity(reqEntity);

            // Execute the request "POST"
            httpResp = httpClient.execute(postrequest);

            /*HttpResponse response = null;*/
            // Check the status code, in this case "created"

            //Log.v("App", "Created");

            int code = httpResp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

            System.out.println("Response Code : "+code);
            /*if (((HttpResponse) response).getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_CREATED)
            {

            }*/
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

  int responcecode = httpResp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
  if(responcecode==200)
  {
      Intent stopserviceintnet = new Intent(mContext,MyServiceProf.class);
      mContext.stopService(stopserviceintnet);
      System.out.print("Your service is stopped...");
      try{

          MyclassFragment.mbtn_SaveMyProfile.setEnabled(true);
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
      }
      try{

          QuickaccessFragment.mbtn_SaveMyProfile.setEnabled(true);
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
      }

  }else
  {
      System.out.print("Your service is running...");
  }
    System.out.println(jsonResponse);


    return jsonResponse;
}

}

Sometimes It works properly but suddenly my apps has been Crashed while wifi or Mobile Internet connection is connected, I think at that time service did not run properly. :( Waiting for your suggestion, solution and your ideas. Thanx.

according to those 2 lines you have a Null pointer at line 129 of your code.

Go to that line, check what is being done, find the object that is null and fix it. That's debugging 101.
