According to docs:

public Cursor query (String table, String[] columns, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String groupBy, String having, String orderBy, String limit);

and your ORDER BY param means:

How to order the rows, formatted as an SQL ORDER BY clause (excluding the ORDER BY itself). Passing null will use the default sort order, which may be unordered.

So, your query will be:

 Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, null, null,
            null, null, null, KEY_ITEM + " DESC", null);
