You can use the MaterialButton now which lets setting the icon gravity.

 <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:id="@+id/btnDownloadPdf"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="56dp"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textAllCaps="true"
        app:backgroundTint="#fc0"
        app:icon="@drawable/ic_pdf"
        app:iconGravity="textStart"
        app:iconPadding="10dp"
        app:iconTint="#f00"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        tools:text="Download Pdf" />

enter image description here

For using the material components you will obviously need to:

Add a dependency
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0-alpha01' (use latest version)

Make your theme extend Material Components theme

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">
...
</style>

In case you cannot do so, extend it from the Material Bridge theme

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Bridge">
...
</style>
