How to run a function in seperate thread

Hi,
I am trying to set local notification(1000+) that is taking too long to execute and it makes the screen freeze.. I know lua does not support threads but was wondering if there is way to run this function in a seperate thread, thus not blocking the UI thread.

Any help is appreciated.

thx,
Bejoy
