notifyItemRemoved () in Recyclerview with Cursor

Hi, I have a RecyclerView with its corresponding adapter class that extends the following: extends RecyclerView.Adapter<UsuariosAdaptador.MyViewHolder>

That adapter I pass a Cursor and I find the following problem:

When I populated a RecyclerView with an ArrayList for example, if I wanted to delete an element and give it an effect through the method rv.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator()); I used the following code in my adapter:

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(MyViewHolder holder, final int position) {

//delete es una ImageView
holder.delete.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            lista.remove(position); //Lista es un ArrayList

            notifyItemRemoved(position);

            notifyItemRangeChanged(position,getItemCount());
        }
    });
}

Well, that works perfectly for me, but the problem comes when I want to do that with a Cursor, of course, you can not erase a Cursor tuples (as far as I know).

How should I do it? Returning to make a query to the BD, doing it next a swapcursor() and indicating the position where was the field that I deleted?
