How to remove icon animation for bottom navigation view in android

I tryed this and it worked well

BottomNavigationViewHelper.disableShiftMode(bottomNavigationView);

Or this code mainactivity.xml

app:labelVisibilityMode="unlabeled"

BottomNavigationViewEx is a good extension to standard BottomNavigationView. enableShiftingMode(false) does the job for you.

I just add this code on dimens.xml, and its work like a charm!

<dimen name="design_bottom_navigation_active_text_size" tools:override="true">@dimen/design_bottom_navigation_text_size</dimen>

got answer from this thread.

To remove animation or shift mode.

Implementation of BottomNavigationView has condition: when there is more than 3 items then use shift mode.

Create helper class

import android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationItemView; 
import android.support.design.internal.BottomNavigationMenuView; 
import android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView; 
import android.util.Log;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;

public class BottomNavigationViewHelper { 
    public static void disableShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
        BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
        try { 
            Field shiftingMode = menuView.getClass().getDeclaredField("mShiftingMode");
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(true);
            shiftingMode.setBoolean(menuView, false);
            shiftingMode.setAccessible(false);
            for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
                BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
                //noinspection RestrictedApi 
                item.setShiftingMode(false);
                // set once again checked value, so view will be updated 
                //noinspection RestrictedApi 
                item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
            } 
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            Log.e("BNVHelper", "Unable to get shift mode field", e);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            Log.e("BNVHelper", "Unable to change value of shift mode", e);
        } 
    } 
} 

Usage

BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation_bar);
BottomNavigationViewHelper.disableShiftMode(bottomNavigationView);
