No, it is not needed to kill or terminate an asyncTask in any way, it should be garbage collected upon job finish (and send/retrieve the results back from the main thread via onPostExecute).

I've used asyncTask to download thumbnails for lists over 1000 elements long, and never had a problem.

However, it is a good practice to implement onCancelled method, and handle whatever it is the asyncTask is/was doing when cancelled (i.e. you have a download in progress, and the user cancels the download. What do you do then?)
