**

after register your context menu on list view

** override onCreateContextMenu Method like this

@Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu,View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo){
        if (v.getId() == R.id.listView){
            AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info =(AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo)menuInfo;
            MenuItem mnu1=menu.add(0,0,0,"Delete");
            MenuItem mnu2=menu.add(0,1,1,"Share");
        }
    }

then coding for each item that can be selected

 @Override
    public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem){
        AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info=(AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo)menuItem.getMenuInfo();
        switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
            case 0:
                Toast.makeText(this, "Delete Selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                break;
            case 1:
                Toast.makeText(this, "Share Selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                break;

            default:
                break;

        }
        return true;
    }
