        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        setupNavigationDrawer()
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar)

        navController = Navigation.findNavController(this,
            R.id.nav_fragment
        )
        appBarConfiguration = AppBarConfiguration
            .Builder(R.id.homeFragment, R.id.secondFragment)

        nav_fragment.navGraphViewModels<>()

        setupActionBarWithNavController(navController, appBarConfiguration)

        navigation_view.setupWithNavController(navController)

    }
    override fun onSupportNavigateUp(): Boolean {
        return findNavController(R.id.nav_fragment).navigateUp(appBarConfiguration)

Make a custom navigation view like below and change Visibility of view according to your condition.

 <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:background="#FFFFFF"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                        <RelativeLayout
                            android:id="@+id/layout_home"
                            android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
                            android:orientation="horizontal"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="@dimen/dimen_48dp">

                            <ImageView
                                android:id="@+id/nav_home"

                            <TextView
