To your BottomNavigationView add app:labelVisibilityMode="unlabeled"

<android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView
        app:menu="@menu/bn_menu"
        android:layout_height="56dp"

UPDATE

in Android sdk version 28 and above they have changed item.setShiftingMode(false) to item.setShifting(false)

Also they removed the field mShiftingMode

So usage will be

 BottomNavigationHelper.removeShiftMode(bottomNav);
 bottomNav.setLabelVisibilityMode(LabelVisibilityMode.LABEL_VISIBILITY_LABELED);


 private static final class BottomNavigationHelper {
    @SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
    static void removeShiftMode(BottomNavigationView view) {
        BottomNavigationMenuView menuView = (BottomNavigationMenuView) view.getChildAt(0);
        for (int i = 0; i < menuView.getChildCount(); i++) {
            BottomNavigationItemView item = (BottomNavigationItemView) menuView.getChildAt(i);
            //noinspection RestrictedApi
            item.setShifting(false);
            item.setLabelVisibilityMode(LabelVisibilityMode.LABEL_VISIBILITY_LABELED);

            // set once again checked value, so view will be updated
            //noinspection RestrictedApi
            item.setChecked(item.getItemData().isChecked());
        }
    }
}
