Many alternatives here already in this thread. Perhaps I can add one more for whoever finds it convenient :

You can also use the Drawable class, the code being as follows

    Resources res = getResources();
    Drawable drawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_play_circle_filled);
    drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
    DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary));

Although the above did the trick for me, but for my use case suggicient was to use android:tint

I was looking for the same thing but to change it dynamically in the code. I hope this helps someone looking for the same thing.

Create an ImageView for the icon and use setColorFilter on that view.

ImageView imageViewIcon = (ImageView) listItem.findViewById(R.id.imageViewIcon);
imageViewIcon.setColorFilter(getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));
