            app:itemBackground="@color/BottomNavigationBgColor"
            app:itemIconTint="@color/CelestialBlue"
            app:itemTextColor="@color/CelestialBlue"

You can try this: add a View element above BottomNavigationView

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="4dp"
    android:layout_above="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:background="#000000"></View>

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottom_navigation"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="56dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    app:itemBackground="@color/BottomNavigationBgColor"
    app:itemIconTint="@color/CelestialBlue"
    app:itemTextColor="@color/CelestialBlue"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_main" />
