Joao's solutions didn't not work for me as totally expected. This would lead to a blank space from unchecked Item View on my Navigation.

Just make sure to set the view as gone:

    bottomNavigationView.findViewById(R.id.your_menu_item_id_to_hide).setVisibility(View.GONE);

Arsent solution is not necessary in this case.
