If you want to remove all the data from the list then pass an empty list and make the following calls as you did earlier.
_mesa_adapter = new TuMesaAdapter(TuMesaActivity.this, _response, _bundle.getString("_id"));
_list_view.setAdapter(_mesa_adapter);
_mesa_adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
or you can also try setting list adapter to null as,
_list_view.setAdapter(null);
Lemme me know if this helps. :)
