Fragments are attached to activity, not replacing activity. So you can still override dispatchTouchEvent in your fragment parent activity and pass any actions from there.

For example:

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    MyFragment myFragment = (MyFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("MY_FRAGMENT_TAG");
    myFragment.doSomething();
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
