GroupHeader doesn't trigger refresh when collapsing

I wrote a Converter which is translating the GroupResult into an Icon. 

                                        <Image x:Name="NormalImage" HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand" Margin="10,0,10,0"
                                               IsVisible="{Binding Key, Converter={StaticResource GroupHeaderVisibilityConverter}, FallbackValue=false, TargetNullValue=false}">
                                            <Image.Source>
                                                <FontImageSource Color="{DynamicResource TextPrimaryColor}"
                                                     Glyph="{Binding ., Converter={StaticResource GroupToExpandFontConverter}}" 
                                                     FontFamily="{DynamicResource BoxPlannerFonts}"
                                                     Size="Default"
                                             />
                                            </Image.Source>
                                        </Image>

which works great when, but ONLY when I manually refresh the listView by calling RefreshListViewItem(-1, -1, true);

when using attributes of the GroupResult for a converter like Level or IsExpand then this is not necessary.
Is it possible that there is a refresh missing when expanding and collapsing on the groupResult?

Unfortunately the outlined documentation does only work with an attribute of the group result, but not with the group result object. 
That means I can only work with either level or isexpand, but I can't build logic for both...

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the update.

#Regarding GroupHeader doesn't trigger refresh when collapsing 
We would like to inform you that you can achieved your requirement with help of GroupHeader Converter and calling the RefreshListviewItem method for listview inside the Collapsed event. Please refer to the following code snippet for your reference.

Code snippet 
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture) 
{ 
    if (value != null) 
    { 
        if ((value as GroupResult).IsExpand == true && (value as GroupResult).Level==1) 
            return ImageSource.FromResource("MultiLevelGrouping.Images.GroupExpand.png"); 
        else if((value as GroupResult).IsExpand == true && (value as GroupResult).Level == 2) 
            return ImageSource.FromResource("MultiLevelGrouping.Images.GroupExpand.png"); 
        else if ((value as GroupResult).IsExpand == false && (value as GroupResult).Level == 1) 
            return ImageSource.FromResource("MultiLevelGrouping.Images.GroupCollapse.png"); 
        else 
            return ImageSource.FromResource("MultiLevelGrouping.Images.GroupCollapse.png"); 
    } 
    return null; 
} 
 
Calling Refresh method inside the collapse event and expand event. 
private void listView_GroupExpanded(object sender, GroupExpandCollapseChangedEventArgs e) 
        { 
            listView.RefreshListViewItem(-1, -1, true); 
        } 
 
        private void listView_GroupCollapsed(object sender, GroupExpandCollapseChangedEventArgs e) 
        { 
            listView.RefreshListViewItem(-1, -1, true); 
        } 

Please refer to the tested sample in the following link for your reference.

This is pretty much exactly what I tried, as described in issue about the error caused by this.

I will try to manipulate your example to reproduce the issue.
