You can add your commands which will be displayed on the menu using the Bot father commands.

I followed the below steps:

Open BotFather send command /setcommand
BotFather will ask for the bot you want to set the command
Provide the command name along with the description in "command - description" format

Now open your bot and the command you send will be displayed on the Menu.

Hope this helps.

In java case with this library.

if the commands already was created, so simply in the class that extends TelegramLongPollingBot:

 this.execute(new GetMyCommands());

In other case:

Create new List BotCommand

List<> commandsList = new ArrayList();
Adding BotCommand to the list with name and description

commandsList.add(new BotCommand("commandName", "description"));
Create a new SetMyCommands whit the botCommandList and executed

this.execute(new SetMyCommands(commands));
