                   <listeners>
              <!-- packagename.customerlistner_classname  -->
                       <listener class-name="listnerDemo.CustomerListner"/>
              </listeners>

</suite>

*********************************if you have to run using multiple suite********

let me give you an example if you have three suites that have multiple cases then create the tree .xml file and write the code as above for all the three suite

then create a testng.xml file that will include the code as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<Suite name="Data driver testng project">
<Suite-files>
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteA.xml" />
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteB.xml" />
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteC.xml" />
</Suite-files>
</Suite>

Then run the testng.xml Run as Testng then it will run all the program of those are part of these three suites
