A singleton to manage logs:

public class ActiveLog {
public static final String TAG = "TRACE LOG";
private static ActiveLog instance;
private static boolean actif;

public static ActiveLog getInstance() {
    if (null == instance) 
        instance = new ActiveLog();
    return instance;
}

private ActiveLog() {
    ActiveLog.setActif(true);
}

public void log() {
    if(isActif())
        Log.d(TAG, "" + (new Exception().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName())
                      + ": "
                      + (new Exception().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName()));
}

public static boolean isActif() {
    return actif;
}

public static void setActif(boolean actif) {
    ActiveLog.actif = actif;
}}

An example of use:

public class MyTest {
  public void test() {
    ActiveLog.getInstance().log();
  }
}

The result:

09-05 14:37:09.822: D/TRACE LOG(XXXX): com.TestProject.MyTest: test
