If you use BottomNavigationView, the solution may be simple. You just need to create the selector as a ColorStateList , and then assign the selector to the "itemIconTint" attribute in the BottomNavigationView.

For instance:

bottom_nav_icon_color_selector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_checked="true" android:color="@android:color/white" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_enabled="true" android:color="@android:color/white" />
    <item android:color="@color/InactiveBottomNavIconColor" />

BotttomNavigationview.xml

    <android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        android:id="@+id/bottomNavMainMenu"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        app:itemBackground="@color/BottomNavBarColor"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/bottom_nav_icon_color_selector"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/bottom_nav_icon_color_selector"
        app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" />
