You need to call MenuItem.getActionView, here's an example:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate your Menu
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);

    // Get the action view used in your toggleservice item
    final MenuItem toggleservice = menu.findItem(R.id.toggleservice);
    final Switch actionView = (Switch) toggleservice.getActionView();
    actionView.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
            // Start or stop your Service
        }
    });
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
