AsyncTask and Looper.prepare() error

I have the following code

class OverlayTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
    @Override
    public void onPreExecute() {

        if (sites != null) {
            myMapView.getOverlays().remove(sites);
            myMapView.invalidate();
            sites = null;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Void doInBackground(Void... unused) {
            grabShipsWithLocation();
            return (null);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPostExecute(Void unused) {
        myMapView.getOverlays().add(sites);
        myMapView.invalidate();
        isLoading = false;
    }
}

That seems to work fine on a few test devices but I am seeing a lot of errors appearing on the dev console. I can't seem to work out why and where to put this Looper.prepare(). Is it needed?

As requested MyLocation.java

    class GetLastLocation extends TimerTask {
    @Override
    public void run() {
         lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
         lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);

         Location net_loc=null, gps_loc=null;
         if(gps_enabled)
             gps_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
         if(network_enabled)
             net_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

         //if there are both values use the latest one
