Edit:

To add the below code to a ListView.DataTemplate, you would want to do something like this:

ListView listView = new ListView {
    SeparatorColor = Color.Green,
    ItemsSource    = ListlvData
};

listView.ItemTemplate = new DataTemplate(() => {
    ViewCell cell = new ViewCell();

    cell.Tapped += (sender, args) => {
        cell.View.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
        OnListViewTextCellTapped(cell);            //Run your actual `Tapped` event code
        cell.View.BackgroundColor = Color.Default; //Turn it back to the default color after your event code is done
    };

    cell.View = new Image();

    return cell;
});

To change the background color on Tapped you will need to use a ViewCell and an Image control within that since ImageCell does not support BackgroundColors by default.

I put a StackLayout within the ViewCell but then on the Tapped event, I change the ViewCell.View's BackgroundColor, like so:

ViewCell cell = new ViewCell();

cell.Tapped += (sender, args) => {
    cell.View.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
    OnListViewTextCellTapped(cell);            //Run your actual `Tapped` event code
    cell.View.BackgroundColor = Color.Default; //Turn it back to the default color after your event code is done
};
