How does one determine the thread a given function call is running on?

I want to make sure a method is called on the main thread in order to update some UI elements.

Can I for example do something like this?

- (void) myMethod {
    if (<current thread is not main thread>) {
        [self performSelectorOnMainThread: @selector(myMethod) withObject: nil waitUntilDone: NO];
    } else {
        // my code here
    }
}
