Answer 1

Event after trying the already provided answers, the app was crashing on some devices (mainly Samsung). So along with that, I tried loading vector drawables like this

Drawable drawable = AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(context, R.drawable.resource_id);

This AppCompatDrawableManager internally tries to fetch drawable with various methods:

Drawable getDrawable(@NonNull Context context, @DrawableRes int resId,
            boolean failIfNotKnown) {
        checkVectorDrawableSetup(context);

        Drawable drawable = loadDrawableFromDelegates(context, resId);
        if (drawable == null) {
            drawable = createDrawableIfNeeded(context, resId);
        }
        if (drawable == null) {
            drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, resId);
        }

        if (drawable != null) {
            // Tint it if needed
            drawable = tintDrawable(context, resId, failIfNotKnown, drawable);
        }
        if (drawable != null) {
            // See if we need to 'fix' the drawable
            DrawableUtils.fixDrawable(drawable);
        }
        return drawable;
    }

Thus it works on all android versions and all devices (hopefully).

Note: Don't try to use Picasso(2.5.2)'s or Glide(3.7.0)'s method to load vector drawables. Because they internally use deprecated getDrawable(@DrawableRes int id) method. Which will result in Resources.NotFoundException on some devices.
