Java ExecutorService pause/resume a specific thread

Is there a way to use ExecutorService to pause/resume a specific thread?

private static ExecutorService threadpool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);

Imagine that I want to stop the thread which as the id=0 (assuming that to each one is assigned an incremental id until the size of the threadpool is reached).

After a while, by pressing a button let's say, I want to resume that specific thread and leave all the other threads with their current status, which can be paused or resumed.

I have found on Java documentation a uncompleted version of PausableThreadPoolExecutor. But it doesn't suit what I need because it resume all the threads in the pool.

If there's no way to do it with the default implementation of the ExecutorService can anyone point me to a Java implementation for this problem?

One scenario could be, one wants to simulate a number of devices. Devices have functions. Altogether this collection of devices runs concurrently. And now if a thread represents a device ( or one thread for one function of a device ), one might want to control the life cycle of the device like start(), shutdown(), resume()
