Compare to:

idleThreadTimeout
An optional listener that will be notified when a thread is created or destroyed in the course of the thread pool's operation. A listener will only receive notifications about threads created after the listener is set so it is recommended that the consumer set the listener before dispatching the first event. A listener that receives an onThreadCreated() notification is guaranteed to always receive the corresponding onThreadShuttingDown() notification. The thread pool takes ownership of the listener and releases it when the shutdown() method is called. Threads created after the listener is set will also take ownership of the listener so that the listener will be kept alive long enough to receive the guaranteed onThreadShuttingDown() notification.
Get/set the maximum number of threads allowed at one time in this pool.

Methods
Shutdown the thread pool. This method may not be executed from any thread in the thread pool. Instead, it is meant to be executed from another thread (usually the thread that created this thread pool). When this function returns, the thread pool and all of its threads will be shutdown, and it will no longer be possible to dispatch tasks to the thread pool.
