NavigationView menu item background color changes to blue sometimes

Question

I'm developing a social network app, where I have implemented the navigation drawer using DrawerLayout with NavigationView. I've customized the background color for each item in the menu using state-list drawable. The problem is that when I select different items in the drawer, the pressed background color for the item changes to blue sometimes, instead of the specified one in the drawable. This behavior goes away if I rotate a device 2-4 times and select different items, but some times passes by and that background color shows up again. This looks really odd to me and I don't know what to do about it. So my question is: how to prevent that blue color from showing up?

Correct pressed background color for photos item: correct

Incorrect pressed background color for photos item: incorrect

My NavigationView:

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
     android:id="@+id/drawer_navigation_view"
     android:layout_width="300dp"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:layout_gravity="start"
     app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"
     app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu"
     app:itemIconTint="@color/drawer_menu_item_icon_color"
     app:itemTextColor="@color/drawer_menu_item_text_color"
     app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_menu_item_background"/>

drawer_menu_item_background.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <item
         android:state_pressed="true"
         android:drawable="@color/drawer_menu_item_bg_pressed"/>  <!-- #F0F0F0 -->
     <item
         android:state_checked="true"
         android:drawable="@color/drawer_menu_item_bg_checked"/>  <!-- #efefef -->
     <item
         android:drawable="@android:color/transparent"/>
  </selector>
