No. A woodpecker is not a decomposer as it does not break down the wood into simple substances such as carbon dioxide and some nutrients. Bacteria and Fungi do.

What are kind of decomposers?
Bacteria, fungi, millipedes, slugs, woodlice, and worms represent different kinds of decomposers. Decomposers prey on dead organisms. Bacteriaare the main decomposers of dead animals and of dead plant matter, in agricultural fields and in grasslands. Fungi are the main decomposers of dead plant matter in forests. Millipedes, slugs, woodlice, and worms prey on dead organic matter.But scientifically speaking, decomposers turn dead organic matter into inorganic matter. That's one of their important contributions to the nutrient cycle. In that regard then, bacteria and fungi are the only true decomposers from the examples given above.
Does woodlice eat dead leaves?

Which organisms are responsible for recycling matter back into the ecosystem?
Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi are responsible for the breakdown of organic matter, releasing nutrients into the soil. Detritivores vary depending on the ecosystem (e.g. in some forest ecosystems, woodlice and earthworms help in breaking down dead matter).Hope this helps. :)
