This is a theming issue. Depending on your current theme, you need to set the correct ActionBar overlay theme. The Action Provider reads a value in the theme (which indicates if the theme is dark or light) to determine the color of the icon.

If your main theme is light and your ActionBar is dark, your ActionBar/Toolbar must use the theme ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar.
