Try this:

@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
    if (seachEditText.getText().toString().length() > 0) {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(true);
    } else {
        menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).setVisible(false);
    }
}
