I want to remove focus and text from SearchView in onResume()

To achieve this you could set your root layout focusable with the android:focusableInTouchMode attribute and request focus on that View in onResume().

For example:

And then in your Activity:

private View rootView;
private SearchView searchView;

// ...

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    // ...

    rootView = findViewById(R.id.root_layout);
    searchView = (SearchView) findViewById(R.id.search_view);
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    searchView.setQuery("", false);
    rootView.requestFocus();
}
