Make a separate UI and load it like this in onCreat method:

addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference);
setContentView(R.layout.prefernce_top_layout);

<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/headerLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/profile_DP_settings"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:src="@drawable/appicon"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/fbUserName"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/profile_DP_settings"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/profile_DP_settings"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:visibility="gone" />
</RelativeLayout>

<ListView
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@+id/headerLayout" />
