You can catch setExtremes() (http://api.highcharts.com/highstock#xAxis.events.setExtremes), and then in event obejct you have access to event.rangeSelectorButton object with count, text and type property.

 xAxis: {
        events: {
            setExtremes: function(e) {
                console.log(this);
                if(typeof(e.rangeSelectorButton)!== 'undefined')
                {
                  alert('count: '+e.rangeSelectorButton.count + 'text: ' +e.rangeSelectorButton.text + ' type:' + e.rangeSelectorButton.type);
                }
            }
        }
    },
