The trick is to replace the default behaviour of the search manager by using an onSubmitListener on the search view and returning true from its onSuggestionClick method, rather than calling setQuery(query, false) in the intent handler:

@Override
public boolean onSuggestionClick(int position) {
String suggestion = getSuggestion(position);
searchView.setQuery(suggestion, true); // submit query now
return true; // replace default search manager behaviour
}

private String getSuggestion(int position) {
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) searchView.getSuggestionsAdapter().getItem(
    position);
String suggest1 = cursor.getString(cursor
    .getColumnIndex(SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_TEXT_1));
return suggest1;
}
