for now we are storing token into shared pref and using it for each request, but want to delete it if app is ideal for some time. — sandeep jadhav, Dec 19 '14 at 06:54
you can use a global timer reference a `countdown timer` and in each activity `onResume` method reset you `timer` and in your `timer` logic when countdown finishes `invalidate` your preferences — Nitin Misra, Dec 19 '14 at 06:57
Thanks , Its solved my problem only instead of using onResume() used onUserInteraction() method to reset timer. — sandeep jadhav, Dec 19 '14 at 12:29

Use TimerTask to increment the session timeout variable.

If it reaches some threshold value call finish() in your Activity

Reset the session timeout variable in onUserInteraction() of your Activity.

But I want to invalidate session if app is ideal for some time like 15 minute etc , don want to invalidate session when user is using app. – sandeep jadhav Dec 19 '14 at 06:59
Where you storing session values ? If it is SharedPreferences , clear it when you timeout variable reaches a limit value(Say 15mints) – Don Chakkappan Dec 19 '14 at 07:02

You can achieve this in below method

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