On Android Chrome, when selecting a text by long press, the events "touchend" and "touchstart" are not triggered. The following solutions therefore do not work:
How to detect a long touch pressure with javascript for android and iphone?
Which event is triggered?
The "onselect" event seems to work only in inputs or textarea.
It is not a "mobile event", it is a good old contextmenu event who are fired :

I have finally found the answer here : Weird behavior of long presses in Chrome and Firefox for Android
The "selectionchange" event is working for : Android (Chrome) and iOS (Safari).
The "contextmenu" event is working for : Android (Chrome, Mozilla and Opera).
For Mozilla and Opera you might need to wrap your function with a setTimeout:
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', setTimeout(handleSelection, 1));
