Actually, there is a way to put icons next to the texts for the menu items:

final MenuItem menuItem=...
final ImageSpan imageSpan=new ImageSpan(this,R.drawable.ic_stat_app_icon);
final CharSequence title=" "+menuItem.getTitle();
final SpannableString spannableString=new SpannableString(title);
spannableString.setSpan(imageSpan,0,1,0);
menuItem.setTitle(spannableString);

This will put an icon at the beginning of the menu item, right before its original text.

BTW, this will also work on PopupMenu.
