I have a helper class that should only ever run in a background thread. Is there a way I can leverage the StrictMode component and throw my own StrictMode violation if it’s run on the main thread?

As of API 11, it looks like the best option is to use a ThreadPolicy.Builder to detectCustomSlowCalls(). In the background thread, you can then tag the method as ‘slow’ by calling StrictMode.noteSlowCall().
This apparently means that a StrictMode violation will be thrown if the offending method takes too long to execute.
