Use threads for this

public class SplashActivity extends Activity{

int splashTime = 5000;
private Thread splashThread;
private Context mContext;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    this.mContext = this;
    setContentView(R.layout.splash_layout);
    splashThread = new Thread(){
        public void run() {
            try{
                synchronized (this) {
                    wait(splashTime);
                }
            }catch(InterruptedException ex){
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }finally{
                Intent i = new Intent(mContext,LocationDemo.class);
                startActivity(i);
                stop();
            }
        }
    };

    splashThread.start();
}

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        synchronized (splashThread) {
            splashThread.notifyAll();
        }
    }
    return true;
}

on touch event, thread get notified.. can change according to your need.
