'Android. How to increase padding between bottom navigation view icons?

I'm using BottomNavigationView and I need to increase space between navigation view icons. Here is mo bottom navigation:

<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
    android:id="@+id/bottomNavigation"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_navigation_bottom"
    android:paddingHorizontal="32dp"
    app:itemBackground="@drawable/bg_navigation_item"
    app:itemIconSize="28dp"
    app:itemIconTint="@color/green"
    app:labelVisibilityMode="unlabeled"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:menu="@menu/bottom_nav_menu" />

And I get the following result:
