I figured it out!! This is how you can implement your own longtouchlistener. In the function longTouch you can make a call to your javascript interface.

var touching = null;
$('selector').each(function() {
    this.addEventListener("touchstart", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        touching = window.setTimeout(longTouch, 500, true);
    }, false);
    this.addEventListener("touchend", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        window.clearTimeout(touching);
    }, false);
});

function longTouch(e) {
    // do something!
}

This works.
