Answer 1

For those of you using Kotlin Extensions

1. Menu file

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/nav_notifications_switch"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_notifications"
        android:title="@string/notifications"
        app:actionLayout="@layout/drawer_notifications_switch" />

</menu>

2. Switch layout file

<Switch xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/toggleSwitch"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

3. Access in code

nav_view.menu.findItem(R.id.nav_notifications_switch)
    .actionView
    .toggleSwitch
    .setOnCheckedChangeListener { _, isChecked ->
        
    }

Answer 2

You should be able to.

Your navigation drawer view can be a LinearLayout, and inside that, you can include your NavigationView and another ViewGroup adding the switches.
