In case of using loader and automagically generated cursor you can call:

getLoaderManager().restartLoader(0, null, this);

in your activity, just after changing something on a DB, to regenerate new cursor. Don't forget to also have event handlers defined:

@Override
public Loader onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
    CursorLoader cursorLoader =
            new CursorLoader(this,
                    YOUR_URI,
                    YOUR_PROJECTION, null, null, null);
    return cursorLoader;
}

@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader loader, Cursor data) {
    adapter.swapCursor(data);
}

@Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader loader) {
    adapter.swapCursor(null);
}
