There shouldn't be a way to do this, except perhaps on rooted devices. None of the developer options should be programmatically controllable. - CommonsWare
I mean how to do it on rooted devices. I use some apps (for Root only) and they could enable/disable "show touches" - TOP

Here is the solution I found:

To enable show touches:

Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                "show_touches", 1);

To disable show touches:

Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                "show_touches", 0);

Remember to add android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGSto your Manifest.
