For those who write whole UITabBarController programmatically, you can use UITabBarItem.appearance().titlePositionAdjustment to adjust the title position

So in this case that you want add a gap between Icon and Title use it in viewDidLoad:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Specify amount to offset a position, positive for right or down, negative for left or up
        let verticalUIOffset = UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: hasTopNotch() ? 5 : 0)

        UITabBarItem.appearance().titlePositionAdjustment = verticalUIOffset
    }

detecting if device has Notch screen:

  func hasTopNotch() -> Bool {
      if #available(iOS 11.0, tvOS 11.0, *) {
        return UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window??.safeAreaInsets.top ?? 0 > 20
      }
      return false
  }
