This is what I did for making the keyboard disappear. You can try to see if this works for you. I set the searchView to invisible and then to visible again.

    //set query change listener
     searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener(){
        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            /**
             * hides and then unhides search tab to make sure keyboard disappears when query is submitted
             */
                  searchView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                  searchView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            return false;
        }

     });
