How to Set selected item in BottomNavigationView

Question

I am trying to set default item on activity created but it isn\'t working? This is my code:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.o

Kotlin extension version of Abshishek's answer:

internal fun BottomNavigationView.checkItem(actionId: Int) {
    menu.findItem(actionId)?.isChecked = true
}

// use 
bottom_navigation.checkItem(R.id.navigation_home)

This does not trigger OnNavigationItemSelectedListener.
