StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() According to the Javadocs:  The last element of the array represents the bottom of the stack, which is the least recent method invocation in the sequence.  A StackTraceElement has getClassName(), getFileName(), getLineNumber() and getMethodName().  You will have to experiment to determine which index you want (probably stackTraceElements[1] or [2]).
