private boolean loading = true; int pastVisiblesItems, visibleItemCount, totalItemCount;
mRecyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() { @Override public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) { if(dy > 0) //check for scroll down { visibleItemCount = mLayoutManager.getChildCount(); totalItemCount = mLayoutManager.getItemCount(); pastVisiblesItems = mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition(); if (loading) { if ( (visibleItemCount + pastVisiblesItems) >= totalItemCount) { loading = false; Log.v("...", "Last Item Wow !"); //Here is your last item add the same data again and notify } } } } });
Don't forget to add
LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager; mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this); mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);

Thanks to @Kushal and this is how I implemented it
private boolean loading = true; int pastVisiblesItems, visibleItemCount, totalItemCount; mRecyclerView.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() { @Override public void onScrolled(RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) { if(dy > 0) //check for scroll down { visibleItemCount = mLayoutManager.getChildCount(); totalItemCount = mLayoutManager.getItemCount(); pastVisiblesItems = mLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition(); if (loading) { if ( (visibleItemCount + pastVisiblesItems) >= totalItemCount) { loading = false; Log.v("...", "Last Item Wow !"); //Do pagination.. i.e. fetch new data } } } } });

LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager; mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this); mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
