Highly Unlikely....
There was a mythbusters episode aired on this similar issue not too long ago. They tested everything from throwing a lighter, to putting it in the dryer, having it in your pocket while welding, and evenually hitting it with a Golf club and super human speed. Fact is, you need three things to create flame, Oxygen, Fuel, and an Igntition source. So if you managed to throw the lighter at the ground enough times to comprimise the shell and the fuel and air mixed and a spark happened to occur at just the right moment you might get a small....boom.. But very very unlikely.
However, what could be fun... Take a piece of tape and tape the gas switch down then ignight the lighter. Set it on concerete and drop a rather heavy rock on it... Youll get your little bang... However.. theres a perfactly good 79cents down the drain...
My suggestion is... just don't throw your lighters at the ground. First its not smart, and two, you'll look like a special ed kid trying to play Basketball.
What else can I help you with?

Why do objects fall to the ground when thrown upward?
Objects fall back to the ground when thrown upward due to the force of gravity acting upon them. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downwards. When an object is thrown up, it loses its upward velocity and gravity then pulls it back towards the ground.
