Android : Notified when all Async calls are completed

I am stuck in one implementation. I am developing an Android application, into which I integrated 3rd party SDK (library) and calling its APIs. Function calling of SDK is actually Async calls (WebAPI calls called by the library) which gives a response (success or failure).

Now, I am trying to explain the situation by code.

for (................) {
    AsyncAPICall (SuccessListener { 
        onSuccess() {
            for (................) {
                AsyncAPICall (SuccessListener { 
                    onSuccess() {
                        for (................) {
                            AsyncAPICall (SuccessListener, ErrorListener);
                        }
                    }
                }, ErrorListener);
            }
        }
    }, ErrorListener);
}

I want notification or callback or be informed by something that all Async calls are completed. Async calls are run in a different thread and due to for loop, many calls will be done simultaneously.

Is there any mechanism which informs me once all Async call received responses or I need to do manually something?

Any help?

@Khushbu Shah, I updated my answer, it changes a bit :) (it's pretty long).
To make sure it's working, I created a stand alone working example and use this API to test: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1

private final Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
            .baseUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/")
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
            .build();

    private final RestPostsService restPostsService = retrofit.create(RestPostsService.class);

    private Observable<Posts> getPostById(int id) {
        return restPostsService.getPostsById(id);
    }

Solution1: Use when call multiple tasks in sequences, the result of previous tasks is always the input of the next task

getPostById(1)
                .concatMap(posts1 -> {
                    //get post 1 success
                    return getPostById(posts1.getId() + 1);
                })
                .concatMap(posts2 -> {
                    //get post 2 success
                    return getPostById(posts2.getId() + 1);
                })
                .concatMap(posts3 -> {
                    //get post 3success
                    return getPostById(posts3.getId() + 1);
                })
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe(finalPosts -> {
                    //get post 4 success
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Final result: " + finalPosts.getId() + " - " + finalPosts.getTitle(),
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                });

Solution2: Use when call multiple tasks in sequences, all results of previous tasks is the input of the final task (for example: after uploading avatar image and cover image, call api to create new user with these image URLs):

Observable
                .zip(getPostById(1), getPostById(2), getPostById(3), (posts1, posts2, posts3) -> {
                    //this method defines how to zip all separate results into one
                    return posts1.getId() + posts2.getId() + posts3.getId();
                })
                .flatMap(finalPostId -> {
                    //after get all first three posts, get the final posts,
                    // the final posts-id is sum of these posts-id
                    return getPostById(finalPostId);
                })
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe(finalPosts -> {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Final posts: " + finalPosts.getId() + " - " + finalPosts.getTitle(),
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                });

By the way, use Rx + Retrofit + Dagger + MVP pattern is a great combine.
