Step 1: Create Selector for change font color

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:color="@color/red" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:color="#bdbdbd" />
</selector>

Step 2: Apply selector to navigation view by app:itemTextColor property

 <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:background="@color/appColor"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"                               
        app:itemTextAppearance="@style/NavigationDrawerStyle"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_home"
        app:itemBackground="@color/appColor"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/drawable_selector_drawer_item"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_home_drawer" />
