I hope this helps anyone else. I was trying to use that method in a remove list view but it never worked. But using bitmaps worked for me. I was able to update pictures in any of the records and they were updating and there was no caching. This is the static method I used.

public static Bitmap getBitmap( String imageLocation ) {

    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;

    return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageLocation, options);
}

then

bitmap = BitmapUtils.getBitmap( address.getPhotoLocation() );
row.setImageViewBitmap( R.id.row_image, bitmap );
