for this you should maintain a boolean variable for each item initially with false and when you click on any item you should make the variable to true.

and in getView() of your custom adapter you check whether it is true or false and do the needfull.

before trying this have a xml file in drawable folder and set it as background if this doesn't work then do the above must work..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- touch down -->
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_pressed"
        android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <!-- selected -->
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_selected"
        android:state_selected="true"
        android:state_focused="false"
        android:state_pressed="false"/>
</selector>
