Recreate activity with closed drawer after drawer menu click

I want to recreate activity after navigation drawer menu is clicked and close this drawer.

I've tried this: 

private void drawerItemClicked(int position) {
    drawerLayout.closeDrawer(drawer);
    //...
    recreate();
}

but doesn't work well. Drawer is starting to close, but screen blacks out for sec and activity is recreated with opened drawer.

Do I have to handle drawer state by myself with onSaveInstanceState() or there is other way?

I know it's an old question, but maybe my solution can be of use to someone else. I ran into the same issue today.

Apparently the problem is that the framework has not completely closed the navigation drawer when the activity is recreated. Therefore I moved the recreate() call to the onDrawerClosed listener, like this:

public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
    super.onDrawerClosed(view);
    //...
    if(...)
        recreate();
}

It works perfectly and the drawer stays put when the activity restarts.

To make sure that you cleanly recreate your Activity without worrying about the framework handling something in an unexpected way with recreate() you can explicitly declare a fresh new instance of the Activity by creating a new Intent. Something like

startActivity(new Intent(this, CurrentActivity.class));
finish();

Calling finish() after you start the new Activity via the Intent, will finish the underlying (paused state) Activity. This will essentially "recreate" your Activity.
