Hope this helps..

public Rect locateView(View view) {
    Rect loc = new Rect();
    int[] location = new int[2];
    if (view == null) {
        return loc;
    }
    view.getLocationOnScreen(location);

    loc.left = location[0];
    loc.top = location[1];
    loc.right = loc.left + view.getWidth();
    loc.bottom = loc.top + view.getHeight();
    return loc;
}

And I used the method this way:

  Rect r = TVGridUtils.locateView(activity.findViewById(R.id.imageview));                 

        float touchX=r.left+((r.right-r.left)/2);
        float touchY=(r.bottom);    

Note: I had to get the middle point of the imageview which i touched
