Listeners are called back in the thread of the instance for which they registered. Usually this means that listeners' callback methods are run in the main GUI thread.
If you want to do 'heavy' work when a callback to a listener is issued, you have to do it yourself. Your listener should start/resume an AsyncTask (or Future task created from ExecutorService), return immediately and your AsyncTask should do the 'heavy work and post the result back to the main GUI thread.
