What if (item.getItemId() == R.id.menuVada)?

simply initialize tst to null. And then check if tst!=null show the toast

@Override
    public boolean onMenuItemSelected(int featureId, MenuItem item) 
    {
        Toast tst = null;

        if (item.getItemId() == R.id.menuVada) {
            //tst = Toast.makeText(Main.this, " Vada ", 2000);

        } else {
            tst = Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Menu Title: " + item.getTitle()
                    + " Menu ID: " + item.getItemId(), 2000);
        }
        if(tst!=null){
            tst.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
            tst.show();
        }

        return true;

    }
