How to change BottomNavigationBarItem icon when selected, Flutter

Question

I am new to Flutter. I have a BottomNavigationBar with 4 items. I want to change icon of the item when pressed. Please help.

This is what I have done so far.

bottomNavigationBar : new BottomNavigationBar(
        currentIndex: index,
        onTap: (int index) {
          setState(() {
            this.index = index;
          }
          );
          _navigateToScreens(index);
        },
        type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
        items: [
          new BottomNavigationBarItem(
              backgroundColor: Colors.white,
              icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon1.png'),
              title: new Text("Route1", style: new TextStyle(
                  color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0))),
          new BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon2.png'),
              title: new Text("Route2", style: new TextStyle(
                  color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0))),
          new BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon3.png'),
              title: new Text("Route3", style: new TextStyle(
                  color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0),)),
          new BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon4.png'),
              title: new Text("Route4", style: new TextStyle(
                  color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0),))
        ]);

There is new feature added in flutter in BottomNavigationBarItem that is active icon. we can use it to tell what should be the icon when a tab is active

bottomNavigationBar : new BottomNavigationBar(
    currentIndex: index,
    onTap: (int index) {
      setState(() {
        this.index = index;
      }
      );
      _navigateToScreens(index);
    },
    type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
    items: [
      new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          backgroundColor: Colors.white,
          icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon1.png'),
          activeIcon:new Image.asset('images/1.0x/newIcon.png'),
          title: new Text("Route1", style: new TextStyle(
              color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0))),
      new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon2.png'),
          activeIcon:new Image.asset('images/1.0x/newIcon.png'),
          title: new Text("Route2", style: new TextStyle(
              color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0))),
      new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon3.png'),
          activeIcon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/newIcon.png'),
          title: new Text("Route3", style: new TextStyle(
              color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0),)),
      new BottomNavigationBarItem(
          icon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/icon4.png'),
          activeIcon: new Image.asset('images/1.0x/newIcon.png'),
          title: new Text("Route4", style: new TextStyle(
              color: const Color(0xFF06244e), fontSize: 14.0),))
    ]),

Hope someone will find this useful.
