OnClickListeners dont return values. Without knowing what exactly you need to do when the click listener fires I cant give you any specifics but

private boolean classBoolean = false;
public static boolean showConfirmationDialog(Context context, String title, String    dialogContent) {

    //local variables must be declared final to access in an inner anonymous class
    final boolean localBoolean = false;

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
    builder.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert);
    builder.setTitle(title);
    builder.setMessage(dialogContent);
    builder.setPositiveButton("Confirm", new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // what to do ?
            //you can't change a local var since to access it it needs to be final
            //localBoolean = true; can't do this
            //so you can change a class var
            classBoolean = true;
            //or you can also call some method to do something
            someMethod();
        }
    });
