I have solved the same problem with this code:

contacts_search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                contacts_search.dismissDropDown();      
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                contacts_search.dismissDropDown();
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                contacts_search.dismissDropDown();
            }
        });

Here, contacts_search is my AutoCompleteTextView
