How do I change the color of the selected icon in BottomNavigationView using Activity instead of Fragment in Android Studio?

Question

I'm using activity instead of fragment in BottomNavigationView . I want to change the color of the active activity icon when switching from one activity to another. But somehow I could not. How do I change the color of the selected icon?

Change Icon and Selected Icon

Navigation Item (including text and icon) is specified in a menu file.

<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
        ...
        app:menu="@menu/navigation"
        />

Create Menu file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/navigation_dailyquote"
        android:icon="@drawable/yy_dailyquote"
        android:title="@string/navigation_dailyquote"/>

        ...
</menu>

To support both icon and selected icon, create res/drawable/yy_dailyquote.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/yy_dailyquote_sun" android:state_checked="false"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/yy_dailyquote_sun_active" android:state_checked="true"/>
</selector>
