To detect touch on GoogleMap, modify MapsActivity.java from last example "Google Maps Android API v2 - initialize map in xml".
Edit MapsActivity to implements GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener, GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener.
Implement your listeners, onMapClick() and onMapLongClick().
Assign the listeners to your GoogleMap by calling:
mMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);
mMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);
