this function i have created to send the request

private WeatherResponse requestWeatherUpdate(String location) {
        url = "" + location; //This location will be dyanamic and multiple
        Log.d("URL for Weather Upadate", url);
        WeatherUpdate weatherReq = new WeatherUpdate(new CallBack() {
            @Override
            public void run(Object result) {
                try {
                     AppResponse = (String) result;
                    response = ParseWeatherResponseXML
                            .parseMyTripXML(AppResponse);

                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e("TAG Exception Occured",
                            "Exception is " + e.getMessage());
                }
            }
        });
        weatherReq.execute(url);
        return response;

    }

AsynkTask

public class WeatherUpdate extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
    Context context;
    CallBack callBack;

    public WeatherUpdate(CallBack callBack) {
        this.callBack = callBack;
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
        String responseString = "";
        HttpClient client = null;
        try {
            client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpGet get = new HttpGet(IweenTripDetails.url);
            client.getParams().setParameter("http.socket.timeout", 6000);
            client.getParams().setParameter("http.connection.timeout", 6000);
            HttpResponse responseGet = client.execute(get);
            HttpEntity resEntityGet = responseGet.getEntity();
            if (resEntityGet != null) {
                responseString = EntityUtils.toString(resEntityGet);
                Log.i("GET RESPONSE", responseString.trim());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC_ERROR", "Error is " + e.toString());
        }
        Log.d("ANDRO_ASYNC_RESPONSE", responseString.trim());
        client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
        return responseString.trim();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        callBack.run(result);

    }

}

Instead of Keeping AsynChronous Task into Loop, Keep Loop inside AsynChronous. and use onProgressUpdate to update UI.

Updated for Example Code

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

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        for (String location : params) {
            String tmp = getTemp(location);
            publishProgress(tmp);    /** Use Result **/
        }
        return null;
    }

    /**
     * Calculate Weather
     * 
     * @param location
     * @return
     */
    private String getTemp(String location) {
        return location;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
        super.onProgressUpdate(values);
        Log.e("Temo", values[0]);
    }

}

And Pass the array of Location where you start process

        Asyn m = new Asyn();
    String arrryaLocation = null; // your vales
    m.execute(arrryaLocation);
