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);

I have not enough reputation to comment so I put this as an answer because I stuck on this for some time. This code as stated by @praveena_kd works.

String answer = "replying to @" + userNick + ": ...";
StatusUpdate statusReply = new StatusUpdate(answer);
  statusReply.setInReplyToStatusId(statusId);
  try {
    twitter.updateStatus(statusReply);
      } catch (TwitterException ex) {
      // handle exception
  }

But you have to take care to put the @UserScreenName on the reply, else it won't appear to the sender timeline! Where

String userNick = status.getUser().getScreenName();

You need to add the username to the response, in Twitter4j this is known as the screenName

For example:

String username = status.getUser().getScreenName();

String answer = "@".concat(username).concat(" Here goes your response ");
