You aren't going to be able to get a definitive answer on this, only examples of things that clearly ARE a live ball appeal, and some where more information is needed.

It really all boils down to you. If you KNOW the player is executing a live ball appeal, recognize the appeal. If you aren't sure, you need more from the player before you recognize the appeal.
