This has worked for me

final Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "The following message will disappear in half second", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
    toast.show();

    Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
           @Override
           public void run() {
               toast.cancel(); 
           }
    }, 500);
