 <li class="header">MAIN NAVIGATION</li>
 <?php $count = 0 ?>
<?php foreach ($this->container as $page): ?>
 <?php /* @var $page Zend\Navigation\Page\Mvc */ ?>
    <?php // when using partials we need to manually check for ACL conditions ?>
    <?php if( ! $page->isVisible() || !$this->navigation()->accept($page)) continue; ?>
    <?php $hasChildren = $page->hasPages() ?>
    <?php if( ! $hasChildren): ?>
    <li <?php if($page->isActive()) echo 'class="active treeview"'?>>
        <a class="nav-header" href="<?php echo $page->getHref() ?>">
            <i class="fa fa-dashboard"></i><span> <?php echo $this->translate($page->getLabel()) ?> </span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i>
        </a>
    </li>
    <?php else: ?>
        <li class="treeview">
            <a  href="#">
                <i class="fa fa-dashboard"></i> <span>  <?php echo $this->translate($page->getLabel()) ?></span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> 
            </a>
            <ul class="treeview-menu " id="page_<?php echo $count ?>">
            <?php foreach($page->getPages() as $child): ?>
                <?php // when using partials we need to manually check for ACL conditions ?>
                <?php if( ! $child->isVisible() || !$this->navigation()->accept($child)) continue; ?>
                <li>
                    <a href="<?php echo $child->getHref() ?>">
                        <i class="fa fa-circle-o"></i> <?php echo $this->translate($child->getLabel()) ?>
                    </a>
                </li>
            <?php endforeach ?>
            </ul>
         </li>   
        <?php endif ?>

    <?php $count++ ?> 
<?php endforeach ?> 
</ul>

     <?php $this->navigation('navigation')->menu()->setPartial($partial) ?>
     <?php echo $this->navigation('navigation')->menu()->render() ?>

Step -3 In module.config.php  

'service_manager' => array(
       ----your code -
        'factories' => array(
            'navigation' => 'Zend\Navigation\Service\DefaultNavigationFactory'
        ),
       - --your code ----
),

'navigation' => array(
    'default' => array(
        array(
            'label' => 'Home',
            'route' => 'home', //you can also use uri
           ), 
        ),
    ),
