You obviously didn´t get the idea of polymorphism.

abstract class A {

}

class B extends A{
  function f (){
    do B stuff;
  }
}

class C extends A{
  function f (){
    do C stuff;
  }
}

There are several solutions depending on what you need:

First of all, the need to do this is symptomatic of extremely serious
design problems.  You should think hard before relying on something like
this.

That said, yes you can do it:

   StackTraceElement[] stackTrace = new Throwable().getStackTrace();
   assert stackTrace.length >= 2 : "Can't determine calling context";

   String callerClassName = stackTrace[1].getClassName();
   if (callerClassName.equals("my.package.B")) ...;
