Answer 1

if u are using TabLayout without viewPager this helps

 mTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.tabItems);
    mIcons = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.tabIcons);
    for (int i = 0; i < mTitles.length; i++) {

        tabs.addTab(tabs.newTab().setText(mTitles[i]).setIcon(mIcons.getDrawable(i)));
        if (i == 0) {
            /*For setting selected position 0 at start*/
            Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.requireNonNull(tabs.getTabAt(i)).getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }
    }

    tabs.addOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            Objects.requireNonNull(tab.getIcon()).setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });
