If you want to create a stopped thread means you should call again the stopped thread. that's only the way to do it .

You have to understand the life cycle of threads; after a thread is started it can not be restarted - the same applies for a stopped thread, once it's stopped its life cycle is over. Take a look at the linked article, in particular the state diagram will make things clear.
