This method work for me.

private fun selectBottomNavigationViewMenuItem(bottomNavigationView : BottomNavigationView,@IdRes menuItemId: Int) {
            bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(null)
            bottomNavigationView.selectedItemId = menuItemId
            bottomNavigationView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(this)
        }

Example

 override fun onBackPressed() {
        replaceFragment(HomeFragment())
        selectBottomNavigationViewMenuItem(navView, R.id.navigation_home)
    }



private fun replaceFragment(fragment: Fragment) {
        val transaction: FragmentTransaction = supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        transaction.replace(R.id.frame_container, fragment)
        transaction.commit()
    }
