You need to add a attribute to your adapter, a simple int. When you click on an item, update the current selected position. When you build the view, check if position equals the selected position.

public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
     if(this.selectedPosition == position){
     //add a holder
     else{
     //don't add a holder

     return convertview;
}

What I'm saying is that you are encountering a View recycling problem. If you modify item n°2 and then the view of item n°10 is build from the View n°2, you end up with an item unwanted (that will look as it was clicked).

When an item of your list is clicked:

1) update the selected item (attribute of your adapter). Example, if you click on item 12 of your listview, selectedItem = 12;

2) call method notifyDataSetChanged(). This will refresh the view of the list.

3) When you build the view (getView() of adapter), check for each position if it corresponds to the selected item. If it does, build your special view (I don't know exactly what you want to do). If it doesn't correspond to the selected item, build your view "normally"
