One view over another view: top view should handle SOME MotionEvents

Question

I have two views. One of them (bottom view) already handling scrolling, pinch-to-zoom, double tap and other actions. The second one (which lays over this one; let's call it top view) is my custom view. For example I want top view to handle long press action. The issue is that to achive this I need my top view to receive ACTION_DOWN and some ACTION_MOVE events. So I override onTouch method and return true when ACTION_DOWN received. This causes my bottom view to not receive any events. According to documentation it's ok but how can I achieve my goal in this way?

I used FrameLayout to display text over image.On click of text I showed one text and on click of image I showed another different Toast.It is working fine.Here's my code

<FrameLayout 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
      android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
      android:background="#D6FFD6"
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

     <ImageView 
                 android:id="@+id/img"
                 android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
                 android:scaleType="fitCenter"
                 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
       <TextView
                  android:id="@+id/txt"
                  android:text="learnandroideasily.blogspot.com"
                  android:textSize="30sp"
                  android:textStyle="bold"
                  android:textColor="#003399"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_gravity="center"/>
   </FrameLayout>
