If we ever need to cancel multiple threads, we will need to do something more clever, probably set a flag on NativeProcessAndroid (outside of the signal handler), as @vharron suggseted.
It just occurred to me that this would be a good use case for a thread_local variable. I'm not sure what is the official policy on thread local variables, as I can't find any occurrences in the codebase, but if that's ok then the killer solution would be
  static thread_local volatile sig_atomic_t g_usr1_called;
If not then you can at least make your existing variable volatile for some added safety.
