            String postURL = Constant.REGISTRATION_URL;
            HttpPost post = new HttpPost(postURL);

HTTP POST is one of the request methods of the HyperText Transfer Protocol as defined by RFC2616.

You may refer to the HttpPost class.

To answer your question, you need to understand that unlike HTTP GET, HTTP POST requires that the request contain a body or Payload that is submitted to the server. Take a look at How to Execute HTTP POST Requests in Android for code snippet.
