Try use Sherlock library for android devices such as Gingerbread cos android action bars is only supported from 3.0 upwards so the sherlock lock library gives you backward compatibility.

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
         actionBar.setIcon(android.R.color.transparent);

        actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(false);

actionBar.setIcon(android.R.color.transparent);
