Most probably you haven't applied ThreadLocal Storage pattern to your AndroidDriver instances. You should be storing AndroidDriver under ThreadLocal something like:

ThreadLocal<AndroidDriver> driver = new ThreadLocal<>();
// initialize AndroidDriver normally
driver.set(new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://url-of-your-appium-server"),capabilities));

and whenever you need to refer the AndroidDriver - do it like:

driver.get().findElements....
