In case you do have multiple inner anonymous runnables passed to same handler  and you want to cancel all at same event use  handler removeCallbacksAndMessages null       As per documentation        Remove any pending posts of callbacks and sent messages whose obj is   token  If token is null  all callbacks and messages will be removed

It worked for me when I called CancelCallBacks this  inside the post delayed runnable by handing it via a boolean  Runnable runnable   new Runnable         Override     public void run             Log e  HANDLER    run  Outside Runnable            if  IsRecording                Log e  HANDLER    run  Runnable                handler postDelayed this  2000            else              handler removeCallbacks this

Another way is to handle the Runnable itself   Runnable r   new Runnable       public void run             if  booleanCancelMember    false                  do what you need
