Notify and Wait in Java

i have a problem with notify() and wait(). I want my main thread to be able to force other thread to wait and notify whenever i want to. It seems i dont understand everything because notify doesnt work. I cant acces my NOTIFY method.

Here is my code:

MAIN THREAD:

public class troll {

    static Runnable R0;
    static Thread TH;

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("TROLOLOLL0");
        watek R0 = new watek();
        Thread TH = new Thread(R0);

        synchronized(TH){
            TH.start();
            R0.NOTIFY();
            }

    }

}

My THREAD Class:

public class watek implements Runnable {

    public watek(){

    }

    public  void run() {


        System.out.print("STOP");
            this.WAIT();
            System.out.print("Running again");

    }


    public synchronized void WAIT(){
        try {
            wait();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }   

    public  void NOTIFY(){
        notify();

    }   
}

You simply have a race. The call to NOTIFY in the main method might happen before the wait in the new thread. There would then be nothing left to wake it up.

synchronize your NOTIFY method. Also use watek.NOTIFY() instead of TH.NOTIFY().
