It sure is possible. Threading is the way to go here. In Java, you can launch a new thread like this

Runnable backGroundRunnable = new Runnable() {
    public void run(){
         //Do something. Like call your function.
    }};
Thread sampleThread = new Thread(backGroundRunnable);
sampleThread.start();

When you call start(), it launches a new thread. That thread will start running the run() function. When run() is complete, the thread terminates. Be careful, if you are calling from a swing app, then you need to use SwingUtil instead. Google that up, sir.

Hope that works.
