The Android TextView supports displaying a drawable right, left, top and below the text, but how to set drawable tint programmatically to match the text color. In Android, to change drawable tint color is easy using a PorterDuffColorFilter.

Here is example to change textview drawable color programmatically in android. How to change the colour of the compoundDrawables set to the TextView using setColorFilter method which specify a color and Porter-Duff mode to be the color filter for this drawable. There is good explanation of the setColorFilter over at Android Developers.
Note: Setting a color filter disables tint.

Here, TextView is set with drawableRight, drawableTop, drawableLeft and drawableBottom vector icon of black color. This example changes android Textview drawables tint color to different colors as shown in the example code.

Note: This method was deprecated in API level 29.

public void setColorFilter (int color,
                PorterDuff.Mode mode)

This method was deprecated in API level 29.
So, It's suggested to use setColorFilter(android.graphics.ColorFilter) with an instance of BlendModeColorFilter
