Can I tell which thread called my service method?

Let's say I have a service that spawns 2 threads. These 2 threads can access any of the service's methods. Is there any way I can tell (within a method) which of the threads had called it?

I know such a mechanism exists for processes in Android: I can use getCallingUid for instance, but is there something similar for threads as well?

Thank you

Thread.currentThread() will always deliver current thread.

You can use currentThread method to get thread and use getName to get it's name:

String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
Log.d("Service", "Called from " + name + " thread");

When you create create thread you can specify it's name in constructor. See Thread
