Your solution seems change the space between items

There is my solution :

"Just set color of clicked same as color of un-clicked."

for example:

private void changeMenuItemCheckedStateColor(BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView, String checkedColorHex, String uncheckedColorHex) {
    int checkedColor = Color.parseColor(checkedColorHex);
    int uncheckedColor = Color.parseColor(uncheckedColorHex);

    int[][] states = new int[][] {
            new int[] {-android.R.attr.state_checked}, // unchecked
            new int[] {android.R.attr.state_checked}, // checked

    };

    int[] colors = new int[] {
            uncheckedColor,
            checkedColor
    };

    ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(states, colors);

    bottomNavigationView.setItemTextColor(colorStateList);
    bottomNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(colorStateList);

}

if you want to un-check all items, you can

changeMenuItemCheckedStateColor(mBottomNavigationView, "#999999", "#999999");

if you want to restore the color setting, you can

changeMenuItemCheckedStateColor(mBottomNavigationView, "FF743A", "999999");
