Normally you would expect this to work:

getListView().clearChoices();
getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_NONE);

Unfortunately it does not. Deferring setting choice mode to none in the next layout pass would work:

getListView().clearChoices();
getListView().post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        getListView().setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_NONE);
    }
});
