I was facing the same issue, the best solution is to make your item decoration while your are initializing your layout manager in the view holder , this resolves the problem you are facing example

public class GridViewHolder extends ViewHolder {

    RecyclerView grid_list;

    public GridViewHolder(View v) {
        super(v);
        this.grid_list = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.home_screen_item_grid_recycler_view);
        if (grid_list.getLayoutManager() == null) {
            RecyclerView.LayoutManager mLayoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(context, 4);
            grid_list.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);
            grid_list.addItemDecoration(new GridSpacingItemDecoration(4, 3, false));
        }
    }
}
