Please find the implementation in the following code.
Please add the twitter4j-core-2.2.6.jar & twitter4j-stream-2.2.6.jar to your build path.

package com.apt.java.test.twitterdemo;

import java.util.List;

import twitter4j.DirectMessage;
import twitter4j.Status;
import twitter4j.StatusDeletionNotice;
import twitter4j.StatusListener;
import twitter4j.Twitter;
import twitter4j.TwitterException;
import twitter4j.TwitterFactory;
import twitter4j.TwitterStream;
import twitter4j.TwitterStreamFactory;
import twitter4j.User;
import twitter4j.UserList;
import twitter4j.UserStreamListener;
import twitter4j.auth.AccessToken;
import twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder;

public class TwitterDemo {
    private TwitterStream twitterStream;
    private void initConfiguration(){
        ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
        cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
          .setOAuthConsumerKey("YOUR CONSUMER KEY")
          .setOAuthConsumerSecret("YOUR CONSUMER SECRET");

        TwitterStreamFactory twitterStreamFactory = new TwitterStreamFactory(cb.build());
        twitterStream = twitterStreamFactory.getInstance(new AccessToken("YOUR ACCESS TOKEN", "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET"));
        twitterStream.addListener(userStreamListener);
        twitterStream.user();

    }

    UserStreamListener userStreamListener = new UserStreamListener() {

        @Override
        public void onException(Exception arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        TwitterDemo demo = new TwitterDemo();
        demo.initConfiguration();

    }
