I am getting the following ANR a lot in my application

Input dispatching timed out (Waiting to send key event because the focused window has not finished processing all of the input events that were previously delivered to it. Outbound queue length: 0. Wait queue length: 1.)

the log says that the problem in onActivityStopped method

this is the code that I have added in this method

try {
            boolean foreground = new ForegroundCheckTask().execute(getApplicationContext()).get();
            if(!foreground) {

                AdServerManager.getInstance().incrementImpression(activity, ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getBannerImpression(),
                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getOfferImpression(), new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {

                                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearOfferImpression();
                                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearBannerImpression();
                            }
                        });

                String lastOffers = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedOffersIds());
                //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_OFFER_IDS.getValue() , lastOffers);
                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedOffersIds();

                String lastCategories = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedCategoriesIds());
                //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_CATEGORY_IDS.getValue() , lastCategories);
                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedCategoriesIds();

                String lastSearch = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedSearchTerms());
                //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_SEARCH_TERMS.getValue() , lastSearch);
                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedSearchTerms();

                // clear landing page
                PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);
                PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_LISTING_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);
                PhoneUtils.deleteWithPrefixFromSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_SUB_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN_PREFIX, false);
                PhoneUtils.deleteWithPrefixFromSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_SUB_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);


                // reset for last activity
                PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.SET_LAST_ACTIVITY_CALLED, false);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ExecutionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

the system requirement of my app that I have to send some data to server and also clear local data so I have implemented the interface Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks

can anyone advice how to meet my system requirement without generating ANR ?

EDIT

this is the code after I put it in AsyncTask and it does not work

@Override
    public void onActivityStopped(final Activity activity) {

        //new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

            //@Override
            //protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {

                try {
                    boolean foreground = new ForegroundCheckTask().execute(getApplicationContext()).get();
                    if(!foreground) {

                        AdServerManager.getInstance().incrementImpression(activity, ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getBannerImpression(),
                                ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getOfferImpression(), new View.OnClickListener() {
                                    @Override
                                    public void onClick(View v) {

                                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearOfferImpression();
                                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearBannerImpression();
                                    }
                                });

                        String lastOffers = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedOffersIds());
                        //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_OFFER_IDS.getValue() , lastOffers);
                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedOffersIds();

                        String lastCategories = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedCategoriesIds());
                        //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_CATEGORY_IDS.getValue() , lastCategories);
                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedCategoriesIds();

                        String lastSearch = TextUtils.join("," , ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().getVisitedSearchTerms());
                        //Appboy.getInstance(activity).getCurrentUser().setCustomUserAttribute(AppBoyAttributeName.LAST_TEN_SEARCH_TERMS.getValue() , lastSearch);
                        ForSaleDataManager.getInstance().clearVisitedSearchTerms();

                        // clear landing page
                        PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);
                        PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_LISTING_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);
                        PhoneUtils.deleteWithPrefixFromSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_SUB_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN_PREFIX, false);
                        PhoneUtils.deleteWithPrefixFromSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.IS_SUB_CATEGORIES_LANDING_SHOWEN, false);


                        // reset for last activity
                        PhoneUtils.addBooleanToSharedPreference(activity, ForSaleConstants.SET_LAST_ACTIVITY_CALLED, false);
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                //return null;
        //    }
        //}.execute();


    }

Move all of that logic into a background thread. That is how you solve any ANR that comes from your code.
