Try this, for example:

import android.util.Log;

public class Logger {

    public static void log(String tag, String message) {
        String caller = getCallerInfo(new Throwable().getStackTrace());
        Log.d(tag, message + caller);
    }

    private static String getCallerInfo(StackTraceElement[] stacks) {
        if (stacks == null || stacks.length < 1) {
            return "";
        }
        StackTraceElement stack = stacks[1];
        return String.format(" (%s:%s)", stack.getFileName(), stack.getLineNumber());
    }
}

And call it from any where in your code

Logger.log("Manowar", "Today is the good day to die");
