NavigationView navView = findViewById(R.id.navigationView);
navView.setItemIconTintList(null);

This works for me to set the original icon with the original colors.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);

    //Set icon for the menu button
    Drawable icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon);
    menu.getItem(0).setIcon(icon);

    return true;
} //End onCreateOptionsMenu()

you have to replace this in the xml:

android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_menu_add"

with

android:icon="@drawable/your_menu_icon_name"
