I also had this problem and then i tried having the handler in the text itself.Now it seems to be working.

public static void reply(long inReplyToStatusId,String text,double latitude,double longitude,TwitterFactory factory) throws TwitterException
{   AccessToken accessToken = loadAccessToken();
    Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();
    twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKey, consumerSecrate);
    twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken);


    StatusUpdate stat= new StatusUpdate(text);

    stat.setInReplyToStatusId(inReplyToStatusId);


    GeoLocation location= new GeoLocation(latitude, longitude);
    stat.setLocation(location);

    twitter.updateStatus(stat);
 }'

and i called it like

            reply(238912922250792960l, "@praveena_kd testing reply", 12.787, 77.7578, factory);
