Why I am getting android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException with AsyncTask?

Question

I am getting android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException while I have wrote the code of networking operation in AsynkTask. is there any other reason for throwing this exception?

Here is my Code:

public class Background_confirmation extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(Confirmation.this,
                    "Please wait...", "Retrieving data ...", true);
            try {
                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(
                        "http://68.121.167.160/sip_chat_api/create_account.php?useralias="
                                + useralias + "&cntname=" + cntcode + "");
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                    is = entity.getContent();


            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            if (backgroung_flag == 1) {

            } else {
                if (is != null) {
                    try {
                        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
                        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                        String line = null;
                        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                            sb.append(line + "\n");
                        }
                        is.close();

                        result = sb.toString();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        Log.e("log_tag",
                                "Error converting result " + e.toString());
                    }
                }

            }
            super.onPreExecute();
        }

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

            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if (progressDialog.isShowing()) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                // progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
            }
            super.onPostExecute(result);
        }

    }

And i am calling this class in OnCreate()

new Background_confirmation().execute();

But it always goes in Catch block and gives me this exceptions LogCat
Any suggestion and idea will be Appreciated.
Thanks

You've used wrong AsyncTask method to place Your network related code. Please, move it to doInBackground, because onPreExecute takes place on main thread. So, exception occurred. Details are here.
