If you are using menu_drawer.xml, you just have to add an id in the items like this:

With this you just have to test on menuItm.getId():

 navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new  NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(final MenuItem menuItem) {
        // update highlighted item in the navigation menu
        menuItem.setChecked(true);

        switch(menuItem.getId()){
           case R.id.txt_menu_item1 : //do what you want to do;
           break;
           case R.id.txt_menu_item2 : // etc,
        }
        return true;
    }
});

If you are using dynamic menu, just use this method to add an item to you navigation drawer:

NavigationView.getMenu().add(int groupId, int itemId, int order, CharSequence title)

And then test by the order:

navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(new  NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(final MenuItem menuItem) {
        // update highlighted item in the navigation menu
        menuItem.setChecked(true);

        switch(menuItem.getOrder()){
           case 0 : //do what you want to do;
           break;
           case 1 : // etc,
           default : //do whatever you want ;
        }
       return true;
    }
});
