    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:onClick="b1"/>

<Button
    style="@style/Tile"
    android:id="@+id/button2"
    android:onClick="b2"/>

<Button
    style="@style/Tile"
    android:id="@+id/button3"
    android:onClick="b3"/>

<Button
    style="@style/Tile"
    android:id="@+id/button4"
    android:onClick="b4"/>

Define a Runnable. This will get executed if the Button will not get clicked in 20 seconds:

final Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do something
        aMethod();
    }
};

Create a Handler and post the Runnable with a delay of 20 seconds:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(runnable, 20000);

If the Button gets clicked, call removeCallbacks() on the Handler instance, which will effectively remove the pending Runnable from the Handler's message queue:

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
        // do your Button stuff
        anotherMethod();
    }
});

void processAfterDelayed(){
    button1.performClick();

Below logic will trigger method processAfterDelayed() after delay specified in Handler once the Activity is pushed. You can modify this logic for your specific requirement! 

public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

      @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_view);

        Handler handlerTimer = new Handler();
        handlerTimer.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                processAfterDelayed();
            }
        }, 1500);
    }

    void processAfterDelayed(){
    //your logic
    }
}
