One pattern for using XML preferences is to run addPreferencesFromResource once and only once, the first time your app is executed. You probably know that preferences can be saved and persist from one run of the application to the next. Use a boolean preference to determine if it is the first run of the app. In subsequent logic and based on conditions, you can set the value of the preference by fetching the shared preferences (getSharedPreferences) and creating an editor to write out the correct value. Set your defaults once, in XML or in code. After that, set the value. It will display in the PreferencesActivity as you expect it to.
It sounds like you might run addPreferencesFromResource and load defaults every time. Maybe that is not the case... If your app requires loading defaults each time, just set the correct value after loading defaults, as needed. In the Preferences Activity you can use both onResume and onPreferenceClick to manage the appearance of preferences (that is what I do). You might use these functions to manage preference values as well. I hope this makes sense.
