Instead of using setDefaultValue on ListPreference, you may use setValue to change the value. The complete code would be:

String [] testValues = {"a" , "b", "c"};
ListPreference test = (ListPreference)findPreference(KEY);
test.setEntries(testValues);
test.setEntryValues(testValues);
test.setValue(testValue[0]);
