I used a shared ThreadService for my app which I will share amongst background modules (robospice being one of them).

I would be good if I could provide the ImageLoader with an already created ExecutorService

One comment on this, which I realize is a bit late, but the idea of injecting an Executor Service into a library seems a little shaky to me. DI is great, but an executor service is not something that I think should be shared by two non-related pieces of code. I can understand providing a configuration mechanism for the executor, as UIL does, but taking an external executor service seems like it will open up users to a lot of unexpected behavior. "Why are my images loading slow?" is now a much more difficult question to answer because we'll have to know all the users of the executor service and how those executors were created.

Agreed you are correct, I would make sure the JavaDoc is explicitly clear
about only set if you KNOW what you are doing.

My issue is if I have 3 modules using 3 Executor services, I have an
unknown amount of maintainable threads.

But making this modular and flexible is always good.
