More simply, you may be able to modify the existing MarginLayoutParams instance to modify the margin: 

ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams mlp = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) mListView
        .getLayoutParams();

mlp.setMargins(adjustmentPxs, 0, 0, 0);

break;

If you get hold of the ListView object in your Activity you can use the method setLayoutParams(), passing in an instance of android.view.ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams.
