You can create a drawable file to put as the background for the listview item.

drawable/custom_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:drawable="@color/white" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/transparent"/>

</selector>

In your styles.xml file,

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    ...
    <!-- Colors -->
    <color name="white">#FFFFFFFF</color>
    <color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

</resources>

In list view adapter,

public View getView(final int position, final View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = convertView;
    ...
    view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.custom_background);
}

Just tried it. It works.
