Got it!

private DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

Working perfectly fine.

Can it be closed without animation? – Hamzeh Soboh Jun 06 '15 at 12:13

Hamzeh - mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(Gravity.LEFT, false); would result in closing it without animation – Psi-Ed Apr 04 '17 at 09:29
mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START, false); – user3560827 Dec 19 '18 at 21:14

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout= (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout)

closeDrawer(); // called when you want to close

public void closeDrawer() {
  if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
  }
}

    if (mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    }
}

If you have mDrawerLayout as your drawer layout, you can close it when it is open.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if (this.mDrawerLayout.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        this.mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

On the right bottom of onNavigationItemSelected where the switch case ends you should right this. mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();

public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){

        }
   mDrawerLayout.closeDrawers();
   return true;
}
