The entire UI framework is designed to not have focus and/or selection in touch mode. By trying to make a ListView behave differently, you are alienating your app from the feel of the entire system, which is arguably a bad user experience. The user knows that when he touches the screen the selection/focus disappear; it works everywhere, everytime. Besides, the framework tries to enforce this as much as it can, and if you found a workaround it would just be this, a workaround, highly likely to break with a future update as bugs get fixed.
