In Java 8 this can be made a little cleaner, assuming you have a static import for org.mockito.Mockito.doAnswer:

doAnswer(i -> {
  // Do stuff with i.getArguments() here
  return null;
}).when(*mock*).*method*(*methodArguments*);

The return null; is important and without it the compile will fail with some fairly obscure errors as it won't be able to find a suitable override for doAnswer.

For example an ExecutorService that just immediately executes any Runnable passed to execute() could be implemented using:

doAnswer(i -> {
  ((Runnable) i.getArguments()[0]).run();
  return null;
}).when(executor).execute(any());
