You can use HttpClient and HttpPost to build and send the request.

HttpClient client= new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("www.example.com");

List<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("paramName", "paramValue"));

request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs ));
HttpResponse resp = client.execute(request);
