No, listening is a present participle of the verb to listen. The present participle of the verb is also an adjective (Put on your listening ears.), and a gerund, a verbal noun (Listening is a good way to learn something.)

An adverb is a word that describes a verb, for example:

He was listening intently to the instructions. (the adverb intently tells how he was listening)

I'll be listening to my messages later. (the adverb later tells when I will be listening)

She was always listening to that same song. (the adverb always tells how often she was listening)
