Are you trying to publish the information about the incoming messages to multiple specific things in your app? It kind of reads to me like you're just trying to get the processing of the messages out of the receiver thread, and into *some* other background thread, which makes me think that maybe using a dispatch queue would be a better solution. (Then you can let GCD handle all of the thread management.)
