I have been using this solution to this problem. Create a script with this code and attach it to a Game Object:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExecuteOnMainThread : MonoBehaviour {

    public readonly ConcurrentQueue RunOnMainThread = new ConcurrentQueue();

    void Update()
    {
        if(!RunOnMainThread.IsEmpty)
        {
           Action action;
           while(RunOnMainThread.TryDequeue(out action))
           {
             action.Invoke();
           }
        }
    }

}

Then when you need to call something on the main thread and access the Unity API from any other function in your application:

ExecuteOnMainThread.RunOnMainThread.Enqueue(() => {

    // Code here will be called in the main thread...

});
