I know there are lots of answers already, but non of them made me happy since I didn't want to have different drawables for different styles of elements.

So my solution was to set color filter in constructor like this:

int textColor = getTextColors().getColorForState(EMPTY_STATE_SET, Color.WHITE);
    Drawable[] drawables = getCompoundDrawablesRelative();
    for (Drawable drawable : drawables) {
        if(drawable != null) {
            drawable.setColorFilter(textColor, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
        }
    }

I used text color because this was what I need, but it can be replaced with custom attribute to be more dinamic.
