android - Drawable tinting in RecyclerView for pre-Lollipop

Question

I am trying to use drawable tinting using the following code in my RecyclerView

Drawable likeDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_thumb_up);
Drawable likeWrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(likeDrawable);
DrawableCompat.setTint(likeWrappedDrawable,ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), android.R.color.white));
holder.ivLike.setImageDrawable(likeWrappedDrawable);

Now all of this is being done in the onBindViewHolder of the RecyclerView Adapter

I change this tint between three colors based on the state of that list item. This works all fine for Lolipop and above but below this version, the color of the list item is unpredictable. Sometimes it shows the right color but on refreshing the list sometimes it changes to some other color.

Anything im doing wrong here or the tinting thing on pre-lollipop is still unusable in this particular case?

Update

Including the code from my onBindViewHolder

@Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {

    Drawable likeDrawable =
        ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_thumb_up);

    Drawable likeWrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(likeDrawable);

    holder.tvLikeCount.setTextColor(ResUtil.getColor(R.color.light_font,
        getActivity()));

    DrawableCompat.setTint(likeWrappedDrawable,
        ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), android.R.color.white));

    if (tweetModel.isFavorited()) {
        DrawableCompat.setTint(likeWrappedDrawable,
            ContextCompat.getColor(getActivity(), android.R.color.holo_blue_light));
    }

    holder.ivLike.setImageDrawable(likeWrappedDrawable);

}

Call mutate() on the Drawable before calling setTint()

Drawable likeDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_thumb_up).mutate();

By default, all drawables instances loaded from the same resource share a common state; if you modify the state of one instance, all the other instances will receive the same modification. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/Drawable.html#mutate()
