Here is a way to change it on your theme:

Update your theme to apply your custom style on the activatedBackgroundIndicator attribute (here the parent theme is Holo Light but you can of course change it):

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">         <item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator">@drawable/list_activated_background</item>     </style> 

In your "drawable" resource folder, create the XML file list_activated_background and define your new background indicator, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">      <item android:state_activated="true" android:drawable="@color/OrangeLight" />    <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@color/OrangeDark" />    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/OrangeDark" />    <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />   </selector> 

Then just be sure you are calling your custom theme in the manifest file with android:theme="@style/AppTheme" in this case for example.
