Idea: I start animation when the user selects the row. When the animation is complete i remove the row from the adapter.The following code animates the selected row:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    final ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    final ArrayList values = new ArrayList();
    values.add("Android");
    values.add("iPhone");
    values.add("WindowsMobile");
    values.add("Blackberry");
    values.add("Windows7");

    final ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, values);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

    final Animation animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,
            R.anim.slide_out);
    animation.setAnimationListener(new AnimationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            adapter.remove(adapter.getItem(selectedRow));
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    });

    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    " " + values.get(position), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            view.startAnimation(animation);
            selectedRow = position;

        }

    });
}
