Save data while closing Flex mobile application using HTTPService

Question

On close of the Flex mobile application I need to save some information to the back-end by using HTTPService.
On creationComplete() of the application I am adding :
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING, onExit);
On close of the mob application, the following method will get call.
private function onExit(e:Event):void
    httpServiceCall("log event data");
The request itself is not reaching backend. I have tested this by installing Wireshark, there is no entry if I close the application in wireshark(wireshark will just catch any kind of requests from frontend to backend).
I am introducing delay to achieve this :
public var closeTimer:Timer;
            private function onExit(e:Event):void
                e.stopImmediatePropagation();
               httpServiceCall("log event data");
                closeTimer = new Timer(3000,1);
                closeTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, closeApp);
                closeTimer.start();
            protected function closeApp(event:Event):void{
                NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
The above code is not working. As soon as control comes to onExit() method, application is closing.
According to my understanding, I have to introducesome delay before closing the application to achieve this requirement. How can I introduce delay in this case?

Try opening Task Monitor and killing any existing "adl" process before launching.
Does this help ?
