Don't use rest api here. Use streaming api (Follow stream). Follow your own handle.

public void onStatus(Status status) {
  System.out.println("onStatus @" + status.getUser().getScreenName() + " - "+ status.getText());
  System.out.println(status.getInReplyToUserId());
  Twitter tf = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
  StatusUpdate st = new StatusUpdate("hello");
  st.inReplyToStatusId(status.getId());
  try {
    tf.updateStatus(st);
  } catch (TwitterException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}
