Hi Sweta,

In classic,
For calling apex class from custom button the class must be global.
You can create custom button from salesforce org using javascript.
Following the steps,
After creating apex class (global).
Goto --> Setup --> Object --> Buttons, links and Actions section
Click New Button or Link
Enter the Name of the button
Behaviour : Execute Javascript
Content source : On-Click Javascript
The sample js code for the button is 
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/30.0/apex.js")}

if({!AAA__c.Name}!=Null)
{
    sforce.apex.execute("MyClass","myMethod",{}"});
    alert("This is {!AAA__c.Name}");
}

In Lightening
Create a lightning component that implements force:lightningQuickAction.
We can override our action using these component.
Then we can call apex class by seting our client side controller to a callback function.
Use this code 
var action = cmp.get("c.YourMethodName");
action.setParams({
     param1: cmp.get("v.something1"),
     param2: cmp.get("v.something2")
});
action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
   if (response.state === "SUCCESS"){
       var serverResponse = response.getReturnValue();
   }    
});
$A.enqueueAction(action);
