How to create a method that accepts a boolean criteria and a lambda with arguments as a parameter in Java 8?

How to create a method that accepts a boolean criteria and a lambda with arguments as a parameter in Java 8?

For Example I have lot of this code.

if(something is true) {
     foo("a", "b", 2)
}

if(something else is true) {
     bar("hello", 1)
}

Want to create a method that accepts boolean and a lambda so I can factor out all the if checks so I can do something like this?

  checkAndCAll(isValid, (a, b, c) -> { if(isValid) foo(a, b, c); })
  checkAndCAll(isValid2, (a, b) -> { if(isValid2) bar(a, b, c); })

If there is something even cleaner please suggest

Can be even simpler, the paramaters can passed directly to the lambda:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //how to use
    checkAndCAll(true, () -> someMethod("param1,", "param2"));
    checkAndCAll(false, () -> anotherMethod("param1", 123));
}

public static void checkAndCAll(boolean b, Runnable action) {
    if (b) action.run();
}

public static void someMethod(Object param1, Object param2) {
    //some method to execute
}

public static void anotherMethod(String param1, Integer param2) {
    //some method to execute
}

But I think it's not very useful. The traditional 'if' requires comparable amount of code and in addition is more readable. In fact it only duplicates Java's 'if' statement semantics.

Don't think the way you want to implement is good at all, but anyway - is this what you asked about? 

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //how to use
    checkAndCAll(true, new Object[]{"param1", "param2"}, p -> someMethod(p));
    checkAndCAll(true, new Object[]{"param1", 2 , new AtomicInteger(124)}, p -> anotherMethod(p));
}

public static void checkAndCAll(boolean b, Object[] params, Consumer<Object[]> consumer) {
    if (b) consumer.accept(params);
}

public static void someMethod(Object[] args) {
    //some method to execute
    System.out.println(args);
}

public static void anotherMethod(Object[] args) {
    //some method to execute
    System.out.println(args);
}
