using AsyncTask for multiple actions

I am working in android.

I have a ParseURL class in my MainActivity.java that extends AsyncTask:

the class parses a URL and then does some work with it.

private class ParseURL extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
        StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
        Document doc;
        try {
            Log.i("output", "trying to connect..");
            doc = Jsoup.connect("http://sirim.co.il/").get();
            Log.i("output", "connected");
            Elements metaElems = doc.select("a[class=mainlevelmatkonim]");
            for (Element metaElem : metaElems) {
                String c = metaElem.text();
                buffer.append(c + "\r\n");
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return buffer.toString();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
        super.onPostExecute(s);
        httpInfo.setText(s);
    }
}

my question is - if I want to use again a AsyncTask to parse another page - but do different actions with the parsed page -

should I use the same class or create a new one?

what is the right way? have a "if" statement or something like that to check what to do with the parsed page? or have a few AsyncTask classes that do different work?

thnaks in advance, Ofek
