Why dont you try this? When you touch the X button, you trigger a focus on the searchview no matter what.

ImageView closeButton = (ImageView)searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn);
        closeButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.search_src_text);
                et.setText("");`enter code here`
                searchView.setQuery("", false);
                searchView.onActionViewCollapsed();
                menuSearch.collapseActionView();
            }
        });
