I do bitmap loading in another thread, but I do glBindTexture in the main graphics thread. Works well for me, I load bitmaps stored in zips delivered by contentproviders into textures.
I think opengl es does have mechanisms for sharing textures across GL contexts, but the above method should be fine, except for a slight delay when the actual bindtexture happens.
