EDIT:

This is my Layout

<RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/re3"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent" >


        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/list"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/white"
            android:cacheColorHint="#000000"
             >
        </ListView>
</RelativeLayout>

and this is my Activity code

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.lay);

    ListView listview=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
    adapter = new LazyAdapter(this,l, list_cons);

    View headerView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.header, null);

    listview.addHeaderView(headerView);
    listview.setAdapter(adapter);
}

UPDATE: as @Zielony pointed out, the previous solution would attach your header to your list as a child, and you don't want that. Here is what you can do to inflate properly your layout_* attributes without attaching the header:

View header = LayoutInflater.from(getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.list_header, listView, false);
listView.addHeaderView(header);

Try to specify the parent for the view you inflate. Replace this:

View headerView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.header, null);

By this:

View headerView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.header, listview);

This should set the LayoutParams to the right type, not causing the ClassCastException anymore.

View header = (View)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.headerView,null);
ls.addHeaderView(header);

In my case, this works

View header = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header, null);
View footer = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footer, null);
ListView listView = getListView();
listView.addHeaderView(header);
listView.addFooterView(footer);
setListAdapter(new
ArrayAdapter<String(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice,android.R.id.text1, names));
