Solution

  • This what I have done to achieve what I was looking for. This is the most simpler way I found without using any heavy coding or library.

    Menu menu = navigation.getMenu();
MenuItem live_one = menu.findItem(R.id.navigation_live_one);
MenuItem live_two = menu.findItem(R.id.navigation_live_two);

String text = "<font color='white'>Live</font> <font color='red'>&#11044;</font>";
live_one.setTitle(Html.fromHtml(text));
live_two.setTitle(Html.fromHtml(text));
