If there is a preference selected for this ListPreference, then it will be saved in your SharedPreferences. You can test against this value by doing something like this:

private Boolean prefHasSelection(String prefId){
    SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    String yourPref = sp.getString(prefId, null);
    return (yourPref != null);
}

prefHasSelection("yourPrefId"); // returns true if something is set

You could call this method at any point in your application lifecycle to determine if the preference has been set.
