EDIT

Here's what I did: I iterated through the visible list to set the each item's background to transparent the setting the selected item's background a different color. This way, the color sticks until I press another item.

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) { int childCount = l.getChildCount();

for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++)
{
    View listItem = l.getChildAt(i);
    if(listItem != null )   listItem.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
}
v.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.pressed));
...

}
