Not highlighting selected child item from navigationview

Question

I have a NavigationView & rendering Menu inside it. My Menu has 3 groups & each contains few sub-menu items. My problem is, when I select any sub-menu item & goes to specific fragment. However, when I reopen NavigationView/drawer to select another item, it doesn't show last selected item Highlighted.

Currently, it just changes color of selected sub-menu item but I want it highlighted like below snapshot.

Add three atrributes in NavigationView

app:itemIconTint

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/nav_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_app_base"
    app:menu="@menu/activity_app_base_drawer"
    android:background="@color/white"
    app:itemIconTint="@drawable/navigation_view_icon_tint_selector"
    app:itemTextColor="@drawable/navigation_view_text_selector"
    app:itemBackground="@drawable/ripple_navigation_selector"
 />

navigation_view_icon_tint_selector

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:color="#005481" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="#005481" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
