Assuming you are writing a desktop JavaFX application (not a JavaScript web app), take a look at this sample application which listens to a setOnMouseClicked event and converts the screen coordinates to a WGS84 (lat / long) point.  

Key steps are:

      // click event to display the callout
      mapView.setOnMouseClicked(e -> {

        // check that the primary mouse button was clicked and user is not panning
        if (e.getButton() == MouseButton.PRIMARY && e.isStillSincePress()) {

          // create a point from where the user clicked
          Point2D point = new Point2D(e.getX(), e.getY());

          // create a map point from a point
          Point mapPoint = mapView.screenToLocation(point);

          // project user-tapped map point location
          Point projectedPoint = (Point)GeometryEngine.project(mapPoint, SpatialReferences.getWgs84());

 

 Does this help?
