Try this, it should do the trick:

your_list_view.post(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
           your_list_view.setSelection(0);          
           }
        });

UPDATE: Please take a look at this

    class YourAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

            @Override
            public int getCount() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return 0;
            }

            @Override
            public Object getItem(int arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return null;
            }

            @Override
            public long getItemId(int arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                return 0;
            }

            @Override
            public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup arg2) {
                View view = convertView;

                if(position == 0){
                    // This is the first item, you need to select this
                    view.setSelected(true);

                }
                // Do whatever you want here
                return view;
            }

        }

In XML:

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
        
        
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>

In your item-row-xml:

And last you need to implement your own item_row_select with the state of "selected".

Hope this helps.
