No, this is NOT double negative. The problem of double-negative refers to when two negatives are used within the same clause. The sentence "Don't think I don't know" has two clauses- Don't think + I don't know. There is supposed the conjunction "that" in between but it's dropped for simplicity. Examples of double -negative errors are:
Don't eat no pizza
I don't have no brother
She won't do no homework

No, it's not a double negative. A double negative would be like, I don't got no money, change one of those negatives to a positive and you'd have a correct sentence. But in the sentence you gave, you can't say, "don't think I know." or "think that I don't know." It either changes the meaning of the sentence or doesn't make sense.

There are two negatives in the sentence, but the sentence *is* correct.

Not really. Of course it is not a complete sentance. But you could say "Don't think I don't know about what you did, because I do". You are basically saying that you do know about something, even though the other person thinks you don't.
