Swift TabBar Item color and background color

I'm trying to set the icon color and background color of an individual item on my TabBar within the TabBarController.

I have 5 icons on my TabBar, 4 of which i've set the color for, it's just this last icon that i'm struggling with. I've attached a link below of an image to show what i'm trying to achieve.

The specific icon is (the one in the middle of the image) for my camera feed, this icon i would like to be white and the background to be red. My code so far is such - On my TabBarController:

var imageNames = ["FeedIcon", "ExploreIcon", "CameraIcon", "ActivityIcon", "MyProfileIcon"]

    let tabItems = tabBar.items as! [UITabBarItem]
    for (index, value) in enumerate(tabItems)
    {
       var imageName = imageNames[index]
        value.image = UIImage(named: imageName)
        value.imageInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(5.0, 0, -5.0, 0)

    }
    //for below i've used a extension for imageWithColor to set the color of my icons
    for tabItems in self.tabBar.items as! [UITabBarItem] {
        if let image = tabItems.image {
            tabItems.image = image.imageWithColor(UIColor(red: 57.0/255.0, green: 57.0/255.0, blue: 57.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
        }
    }

My Extension:

    extension UIImage {
    func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)

        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() as CGContextRef
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
        CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeNormal)

        let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height) as CGRect
        CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
        tintColor.setFill()
        CGContextFillRect(context, rect)

        let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() as UIImage
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return newImage
    }
}

Might be a bit late but to create this "camera item" I think the only solution is to create a UIButton and set the center of the button to the center of the UITabBar. You can see how to do it in this post. After that you can set the image to the button with this background color.

UPDATE:

I created this sample project written with swift where you can see how to add this button on the tabBar.

The main issue is to subclass UITabBarController and add the button from this class.

class TabBarViewController: UITabBarController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {

        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()

    }

    override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {

        // Creates image of the Button
        let imageCameraButton: UIImage! = UIImage(named: "cameraIcon")

        // Creates a Button
        let cameraButton = UIButton(type: .Custom)
        // Sets width and height to the Button
        cameraButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, imageCameraButton.size.width, imageCameraButton.size.height);
        // Sets image to the Button
        cameraButton.setBackgroundImage(imageCameraButton, forState: .Normal)
        // Sets the center of the Button to the center of the TabBar
        cameraButton.center = self.tabBar.center
        // Sets an action to the Button
        cameraButton.addTarget(self, action: "doSomething", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)

        // Adds the Button to the view
        self.view.addSubview(cameraButton)

    }

    func doSomething() {

        print("Action of camera button")

    }

}
