Android :: Detect When User Taps On View?

I want to detect when a user taps anywhere in a view in my Android application. My code looks like this:

linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout); // main layout
// ...
linearLayout.setOnTouchListener(this);
// ...
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Touch!", 1000);
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Down!", 1000);
return true;
}
return false;
}

but when I click on the view, I don't get Toast! Do touch events work in the emulator -- or have I got something wrong in my code?
