For this you need ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL. See the following code snippet,

First create a ListView and it's adapter,

        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
        adapter = new AttendanceListAdapter(this, attendanceList);

Set the List choice mode to multiple and add a Multi choice listener,

        listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);
        listView.setMultiChoiceModeListener(new ModeCallback());
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);

Your Multi choice listener should look something like this,

private class ModeCallback implements ListView.MultiChoiceModeListener {

        public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.list_select_menu, menu);
            mode.setTitle("Select Items");
            return true;
        }

        public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            return true;
        }

        public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
            switch (item.getItemId()) {
                case R.id.share:
                    Toast.makeText(AddAttendanceActivity.this, "Shared " + listView.getCheckedItemCount() +
                            " items", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    mode.finish();
                    break;
                default:
                    Toast.makeText(AddAttendanceActivity.this, "Clicked " + item.getTitle(),
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    break;
            }
            return true;
        }

        public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
        }

        public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode,
                                              int position, long id, boolean checked) {
            final int checkedCount = listView.getCheckedItemCount();
            switch (checkedCount) {
                case 0:
                    mode.setSubtitle(null);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    mode.setSubtitle("One item selected");
                    break;
                default:
                    mode.setSubtitle("" + checkedCount + " items selected");
                    break;
            }
        }

    }

Now if you want the selected rows to highlighted add this style to the root element of your list items layout.

  <style name="activated" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="android:background">?android:attr/activatedBackgroundIndicator</item>
    </style>
