You Can try Following this Link.

Check this out and tell me if it worked or not.

Or you can do some thing like this.
Create menu.xml

And now you will be able to set ICON on menu

Now in CreateOptionMenu

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
      MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
      inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
      return true;
    }

And to access that menu.

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
      switch (item.getItemId()) {
      case R.id.next:
            Toast.makeText(this, "You have chosen the " + getResources().getString(R.string.next) + " menu option",
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;
      …
      default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
      }
   }
