Actually, I don’t think that’s possible because of the behaviour being described: dbus-daemon doesn’t pass the called service name to the recipient; the DESTINATION that dbus-daemon sends is just the recipient’s unique name. The recipient has no way to know what name the sender gave as DESTINATION.
