How to create an instance of an interface in a fragment?

In my Android app, I have fragment activity that has a progress indicator. This progress bar is shown on the display when any fragment calls the interface. Therefore, the code for the fragment class is as follows:

public class MainScreen extends FragmentActivity {

    public interface OnConnectingToInternet {
        public void showProgressbar(boolean flag);
    }

    // rest of codes
    .
    .
    .

    // Implementing Interface
    public void showProgressbar(boolean flag) {
        if(flag){
            myProgressbar.showProgressBar();
        } else {
            myProgressbar.hideProgressBar();
        }
    }

}

Each fragment must connect to the Internet and receive data, but before that, they must call the interface. I wrote the following code for one class (code for other fragments is similar to this).

public class TopRecipesFragment extends Fragment {

    private OnConnectingToInternet onConnectingToInternet;


    @Override
    public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
        super.onAttach(activity);

        // onConnectingToInternet = (OnConnectingToInternet) activity;

        Log.i(TAG, "Fragment attached to activity.");
    }

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        New MyAsyncTask.execute();
    }

    public class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Boolean> {       

        @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() {
            Log.i(TAG, "myAsyncTask is about to start...");

            onConnectingToInternet.showProgressbar(true);
            }

        @Override
            protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
            ...
            }

        @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
            Log.i(TAG, "myAsyncTask is about to start...");

            onConnectingToInternet.showProgressbar(false);
            }

}

The problem is that I do not know how to instantiate this interface. If I don’t install it onConnectingToInternet = (OnConnectingToInternet) activity;, then after launching the application it will be split into NullPointerException.
