Set no item pre-selected in Bottom Navigation view

Question

I'm adding the new Bottom Navigation View from the material design library to a project, and I would like to have no pre selected item by default.

For now first item is selected by default.

I have used

mBottomNavigation.getMenu().getItem(0).setChecked(false);

but when doing it in for loop for all the menu item last item is selected again by default.

Is there a way we can achieve this?

I combined the solution mentioned by @Ashish Kumar and resolved my query and

private void customizeBottomBar() {
        mBottomNavigation.getMenu().getItem(0)
                .setIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(activity, R.drawable.ic_reserve_normal));
        changeMenuItemCheckedStateColor(mBottomNavigation, getUnCheckedColor(), getUnCheckedColor());
    }

/**
   * Method to change the color state of bottom bar view
   * @param bottomNavigationView - BottomNavigation view instance
   * @param checkedColorHex int value of checked color code
   * @param uncheckedColorHex int value of unchecked color code
   */
  void changeMenuItemCheckedStateColor(BottomNavigationView bottomNavigationView,
      int checkedColorHex, int uncheckedColorHex) {

    int[][] states = new int[][]{
        new int[]{-android.R.attr.state_checked}, // unchecked
        new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked}, // checked
    };

    int[] colors = new int[]{
        uncheckedColorHex,
        checkedColorHex
    };

    ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(states, colors);
    bottomNavigationView.setItemTextColor(colorStateList);
    bottomNavigationView.setItemIconTintList(colorStateList);

  }
