The following worked for me. I am trying to close search-view from Fragment in Jetpack NavigationView when a user clicks the back button -

requireActivity().getOnBackPressedDispatcher().addCallback(getViewLifecycleOwner(), new OnBackPressedCallback(true) { @Override public void handleOnBackPressed() {

        try {
            DashboardActivity activity = (DashboardActivity) getActivity();
            if (activity!=null) {
                if (!activity.mSearchView.isIconified()) {
                    activity.mSearchView.setQuery("",false);
                    activity.mSearchView.setIconified(true);
                } else {
                    NavController navController = Navigation.findNavController(activity, R.id.nav_host_fragment);
                    navController.popBackStack();
                }
            }

        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});
