listView.getLastVisiblePosition(), is this what you are looking for? if not, Iteration through child views...

int count = 0;

for (int i = 0; i <= listView.getLastVisiblePosition(); i++)
{
    if (listView.getChildAt(i) != null)
    {
        count++;  // saying that view that counts is the one that is not null, 
                  // because sometimes you have partially visible items....
