    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // 2. create array adapter
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, // standard row layout
                                                    // provided by android
            listItemArray);
    // 3. Call setListAdapter
    setListAdapter(adapter);
    listView = getListView();
    listView.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            switch (keyCode) {
            case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN:

                ListView list =(ListView)v;
                for (int j=0; j < list.getChildCount(); j++){
                    if(list.getChildAt(j).getBackground().equals(R.color.gray)){
                    list.getChildAt(j).setBackgroundResource(R.color.TRANSPARENT);
                    list.getChildAt(j++).setBackgroundResource(R.color.gray);
                    }else
                        list.getChildAt(0).setBackgroundResource(R.color.gray);
                }
                                    break;
            }           

            return false;
        }
    });

I can hardly imagine how would onKeyListener on a ListView detect volume key press. Try to override dispatchKeyEvent() in your Activity instead:

@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
    switch (event.getKeyCode()) {
        case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP:
            Toast.makeText(this, "volume up", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN:
            Toast.makeText(this, "volume down", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
    }
}
