Question

I want my custom functions to modify / toggle a boolean variable. Let’s say that I have code like

if (OK2continue) { findANDclick(new String[]{"id", "menuButton"});}
if (OK2continue) { findANDclick(new String[]{"src", ".*homeicon_calendar.*"}); }   
if (OK2continue) { findANDclick(new String[]{"src", ".*cycle_templates.*"});

I want to make sure that the flow of execution stops once any of the findANDclick functions toggles the variable OK2continue

I managed my functions to modify a String variable using StringBuilder.

Can I do the same for boolean type of variable?

Push this code into its own method, and use a return:

if (findANDclick(new String[]{"id", "menuButton"})) return;
if (findANDclick(new String[]{"src", ".*homeicon_calendar.*"})) return;
if (findANDclick(new String[]{"src", ".*cycle_templates.*"})) return;

Given that all your method calls are the same, you could also use a loop:

String[][] buttons = {
    {"id", "menuButton"},
    {"src", ".*homeicon_calendar.*"},
    {"src", ".*cycle_templates.*"},
};
for (String[] button: buttons) {
    if (findANDclick(button)) return;
}

You might or might not find that more readable.
