Android window title bar icon is causing background for list view items

Programmatic setting the window title bar icon is causing every list view item has tile bar icon as background.

setFeatureDrawableResource(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON, R.drawable.ball);

How can i remove the listview background image or set the window title bar icon any other way than programmatic?

With window title icon set

With out window title icon

      <style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme">
           <item name="android:windowTitleSize">50dip</item>
           <item name="android:windowTitleStyle">@style/CustomWindowTitle</item>
           <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/CustomWindowTitleBackground</item>
      </style>
</resources>

Use the following code

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.custom_title);

Please be sure that you are using requestWindowFeature before setContentView.Here in R.layout.custom_title use your custom title xml.

I think this will help you.
