Change the color of Checkbox

I want to change the color of checkbox border color but I need to do this programmatically.

Here is my code

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
        //The issue is here
        CompoundButtonCompat.setButtonTintList(holder.checkbox, ColorStateList.valueOf(this.currentThemeOptions.modalFormsTextColor));
    } else {
        //This works just fine
        holder.checkbox.setButtonTintList(ColorStateList.valueOf(this.currentThemeOptions.modalFormsTextColor));
    }

What do you suggest about changing border color of a checkbox in an Android API lower than API 21 ?
