Answer 1

Try this, it should do the trick:

your_list_view.post(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
           your_list_view.setSelection(0);          
           }
        });

UPDATE: Please take a look at this

    class YourAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

            @Override
            public int getCount() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return 0;
            }

            @Override
            public Object getItem(int arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return null;
            }

            @Override
            public long getItemId(int arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return 0;
            }

            @Override
            public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup arg2) {
                View view = convertView;

                if(position == 0){
                    // This is the first item, you need to select this
                    view.setSelected(true);

                }
                // Do whatever you want here
                return view;
            }

        }

In XML:

<ListView
            android:id="@+id/lvDepartures"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            android:listSelector="@null" <!--Here is the thing you need-->
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
        <View
            android:layout_width="1dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@android:color/darker_gray" />
        <ListView
             android:id="@+id/lvArrivals"
             android:layout_weight="1"
             android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
             android:listSelector="@null" <!--Here is the thing you need-->
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>

In your item-row-xml:

    <LinearLayout
             android:layout_width="wrap_content"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:background="@drawable/item_row_selector"> <!--Here is the thing you need-->
    <!--Your item layout here-->
    </LinearLayout>

And last you need to implement your own item_row_select with the state of "selected".

Hope this helps.

**THIS WORKS FOR ME.You have to make custom adapter.**

     First Create Modal Class

        public class FilterBean {

         String filter_catagory;
                 boolean isSelected;

            public boolean isSelected() {
                return isSelected;
            }

            public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
                isSelected = selected;
            }

          public String getFilter_catagory() {
                return filter_catagory;
            }

            public void setFilter_catagory(String filter_catagory) {
                this.filter_catagory = filter_catagory;
            }

        }


    In Adapter Class

    @Override
        public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.size_name_indicator, null);
            txt = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.key_textView);
            txt.setText(getItem(position).getFilter_catagory());

            if(getItem(position).isSelected()){
                txt.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.transparent));
            }else {

                txt.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorWhite));
            }


            return convertView;
        }

     public void updateNameBean(String key,boolean checked)
        {

            for(int i=0;i<getCount();i++)
            {
                FilterBean filterBean =  getItem(i);
                if(filterBean.getFilter_catagory().equals(key))
                {
                    filterBean.setSelected(checked);
                }else {
                    filterBean.setSelected(false);
                }
            }
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

**In Activity or Fragment**

 filter_listView.setAdapter(filterNameAdapter);
               filterNameAdapter.updateNameBean(filterNameAdapter.getItem(0).getFilter_catagory(),true);
        filter_listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
                String key = filterNameAdapter.getItem(position).getFilter_catagory();
                filterNameAdapter.updateNameBean(filterNameAdapter.getItem(position).getFilter_catagory(),true);

            }
        }); 

Answer 3

instead of your_list_view.setSelection(0);
try your_list_view.setItemChecked(0,true);
