final boolean[] isLongPress = {false};
final int duration = 3000;
final Handler someHandler = new Handler();
    final Runnable someCall = new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            if(isLongPress[0]) {
                // your code goes here 
            }
        }
    };

    someButton.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            int eventAction = event.getAction();
            if(eventAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
                isLongPress[0] = true;
                someHandler.postDelayed(someCall, duration);
            }
            else if (eventAction == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                isLongPress[0] = false;
                someHandler.removeCallbacks(someCall);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
