Seen many of the above answers but my answer is different one and it will work in your cases also. My approach is based on scroll state of recylerview. Maintain below variable "check" and this should update only once when api responds. Put below code in your api response. If you want to handle last item only on every call of api.

final boolean[] check = {true};
    recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnScrollChangedListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrollChanged() {
            if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1)) {
                // last item of recylerview reached.
                if (check[0]) {
                    //your code for last reached item
                    scroll_handler.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }
            } else {
                scroll_handler.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                check[0] = false;
            }
        }
    });

If you want to handle your last item every time then do it as below

recyclerView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnScrollChangedListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnScrollChangedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onScrollChanged() {
        if (!recyclerView.canScrollVertically(1)) 
            // Bottom of recyler view.
            arrow_img.setRotation(180);
        }
    }
});
