UPDATE:
@ADev has a newer solution in his answer here, but his solution requires a newer support library -, 25.4.0 or above.

You can change the tint, quite easily in code via:

imageView.setColorFilter(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255)); // White Tint

If you want color tint then

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.COLOR_YOUR_COLOR), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);

For Vector Drawable

imageView.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.COLOR_YOUR_COLOR), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);

Move the newer solution to the top of the answer for more visibility. The newer solution is a better practice than this older answer.
