Pass one flag and update adapter

     ListAdapter adapter = new ListAdapter(getApplicationContext(), name,false);
        lvMain.setAdapter(adapter);

     ListAdapter adapter = new ListAdapter(getApplicationContext(), name,true);
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

     public ListAdapter(Context c, String[] name,Boolean flag) {
            // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            mContext = c;
            this.name = name;
    this.flag=flag
            inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
                    .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        }


 @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup arg2) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        ViewHolder viewHolder;
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.tvName = (TextView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.tvItem);
            viewHolder.cbName = (CheckBox) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.cbItem);
            convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
        } else {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }
        viewHolder.tvName.setText(name[position]);

if(flag==true)
{
cbName .setChecked(true);
}
        return convertView;
    }

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ListView lvMain;
boolean isSelectAll = false;

On Button click make isSelectAll value as true and call notifydatasetchage on adapter.

    public boolean isSelectALL(){
       return isSelectAll;
    }

In the adapter class, get the instance of the acivity class,

if(activity.isSelectALL()){
    viewHolder.cbName.setChecked(true)
}else{
    viewHolder.cbName.setChecked(false)
}

Hope this will help you.

Your code should look something like this. The checked state should come from the ArrayList<> or Array[] that contains your data. and remember to update the checked state of your objects when a checkbox toggles state by calling persons.get(position).setChecked(true/false);

class Person{
    String name;
    boolean checked;
    public Person(String name){
        this.name=name;
    }
    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }
    public boolean isChecked(){
        return checked;
    }
    public void setChecked(boolean checked){
        this.checked=checked;
    }
}

class PersonsAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
    LayoutInflater inflater;
    ArrayList<Person> persons;
    public PersonsAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Person> persons){
        this.persons=persons;
        inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder viewHolder;
        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.tvName = (TextView) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.tvItem);
            viewHolder.cbName = (CheckBox) convertView
                    .findViewById(R.id.cbItem);
            convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
        } else {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }
        viewHolder.tvName.setText(persons.get(position).getName());
        viewHolder.cbName.setChecked(persons.get(position).isChecked());
    }

}

and the click listener

       selectAllButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                for(Person person:persons){
                    person.setChecked(true);
                }
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        });
