<SwitchPreference

    android:defaultValue="true"

    android:key="updateNotification"

    android:summary="Remind you to update"

    android:title="Update"

    />

    <ListPreference

        android:defaultValue="1"

    <string-array name="listValueforSharedPreference">

        <item>1</item>

        <item>2</item>

    </string-array>

</resources>

Create a new Class and extends with PreferenceFragment and imlements OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener

package com.mahesh.androidissimples.setting;

import android.content.Context;

import android.content.SharedPreferences;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;

import android.support.annotation.Nullable;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;

import android.widget.Toast;

/**

 * A simple {@link Fragment} subclass.

 */

public class SettingFragment extends PreferenceFragment implements SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener{

    public static final String KEY_LANGUAGE="languageListSetting";

    public static final String KEY_SETTINGS_MENU="updateNotification";

    @Override

    public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesName("SettingPrf");

        getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesMode(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);

    }

    @Override

    public void onResume() {

        super.onResume();

        getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences()

                .registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);

    }

    @Override

    public void onPause() {

        super.onPause();

        getPreferenceScreen().getSharedPreferences()

                .unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);

    }

    @Override

    public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, String key) {

        if (key.equals(KEY_LANGUAGE)){

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Changed Language", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }

        if (key.equals(KEY_SETTINGS_MENU)){

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Changed Settings menu", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }

    }

}

In MainActivity class

package com.mahesh.androidissimples.setting;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content,new SettingFragment())

                .commit();

    }

}

Output:
