I found a possible solution in this post: Changing background color of ListView items on Android

    private static int save = -1;

public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id) { 

    parent.getChildAt(position).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

    if (save != -1 && save != position){
        parent.getChildAt(save).setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
    }

    save = position;                

}

Change the method to onItemLongClick().

I hope this help!

Try this,

listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View view,
                    int arg2, long arg3) {

                view.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#222222"));
                Log.v("Long Click", "Working");
                return false;
            }
        });

Try this in your onItemLongClick()

public View view1;// should be declared as global
if (view1 != null) {
    view1.setBackgroundResource(R.color.orange);
}
view1 = v;
v.setBackgroundResource(R.color.transparent_green);
