According to the BottomNavigationView specs: https://material.io/guidelines/components/bottom-navigation.html#specs-figure-caption-17

Your navigation is correctly, but if anyway you want to expand the padding between the elements I recommend that you create your own bottom navigation using something like FlexBoxLayout: https://github.com/google/flexbox-layout
