There is one possibility, by disabling the cursor handler. You won't get the paste button, but you will also not be able to move the cursor with touch.

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (event.getActionMasked() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && mDisableCursorHandle) {
        // Hack to prevent keyboard and insertion handle from showing.
        cancelLongPress();
    }
    return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
