Using AbsListView scroll listener we can achieve for listview simply without using other complicated library or ScrollView

set scroll listener to list view

public class PagedScrollListener implements AbsListView.OnScrollListener {
    private ActionBar mActionBar;
    private View mTopHideView; // represent header view

     @Override
    public void onScrollStateChanged(final AbsListView view, final int scrollState) {
        mScrollState = scrollState;
    }

    @Override
    public void onScroll(final AbsListView view, final int firstVisibleItem, final int visibleItemCount, final int totalItemCount) {

        if (mActionBar != null && mTopHideView != null && mListView != null) {
            Log.i(TAG, getScrollY() + "");
            int currentY = getScrollY();

            final int headerHeight = mTopHideView.getHeight() - mActionBar.getHeight();
            final float ratio = (float) Math.min(Math.max(currentY, 0), headerHeight) / headerHeight;
            final int newAlpha = (int) (ratio * 255);
            Log.i(TAG, newAlpha + " alpha");
            mActionBarDrawaqble.setAlpha(newAlpha);
}}


public void setActionBarRefernce(ActionBar actionBar, View topHideView, float actionBarHeight, ListView listView) {
        mActionBar = actionBar;
        mActionBarHeight = actionBarHeight;
        mTopHideView = topHideView;
        mListView = listView;
        mActionBarDrawaqble = new ColorDrawable(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.google_plus_red));
        mActionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(mActionBarDrawaqble);
        mActionBarDrawaqble.setAlpha(0);
    }

   public int getScrollY() {
        View c = mListView.getChildAt(0);
        if (c == null) {
            return 0;
        }

        int firstVisiblePosition = mListView.getFirstVisiblePosition();
        int top = c.getTop();

        int headerHeight = 0;
        if (firstVisiblePosition >= 1) {
            headerHeight = mTopHideView.getHeight();
        }

        return -top + firstVisiblePosition * c.getHeight() + headerHeight;
    }

} 

// Note : Don't forget to call **setActionBarRefernce method ** of custom listener
