Okay Guys will share my way I do it (in case you are developing project after somebody and there is already tons of activities).

Finally I inflate navigation drawer with one line of code (in onCreate):

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mContext = this; //context
        //setContentView(R.layout.activity_favorites); // Was so
        Utils.inflatedNavigationDrawerView(mContext, R.layout.activity_favorites); // Now is
        //...
    }

next what is Utils? :

public class Utils{

public static void inflatedNavigationDrawerView(Context context, int layoutId){
        // Here get view of clear DrawerLayout
        final View drawerLayout = View.inflate(context,R.layout.navigation_drawer_inflator, null);
        // Next inflate to it passed layout for activity
        final View mainLayout = View.inflate(context,layoutId, (ViewGroup) drawerLayout);
        // And finally inflate to it fragment for NavigationDraver
        final View fragmentLayout = View.inflate(context,R.layout.navigation_drawer_inflator_fragment, (ViewGroup) drawerLayout);

        // Next we should try to get our drawer (should check with casting to each activity you want to insert to)
        NavigationDrawerFragment drawerFragment = null;

        // this block should be repeated for each activity you want to use in.    
        if (context instanceof FavoritesActivity){
            // Set our pack of inflates to contentview
            ((FavoritesActivity) context).setContentView(mainLayout);
            // And now we get NavigationDrawerFragment
            drawerFragment = (NavigationDrawerFragment)
                    ((FavoritesActivity) context).getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.navigation_drawer_fragment);
        }

        if(drawerFragment != null){ // if null then we missed some castings for activity used in.
            // Finally setup our drawer
            drawerFragment.setUpEasy(R.id.navigation_drawer_fragment, (DrawerLayout)drawerLayout.findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout), (Toolbar) mainLayout.findViewById(R.id.app_bar));
        }
    }
}

If you would like to avoid creation of hamburger in Toolbar then you shoud in setUpEasy place: mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);

Here is my sample of setup:

public void setUpEasy(int fragmentId, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, Toolbar toolBar) {
        mContainerView = getActivity().findViewById(fragmentId);
        mDrawerLayout = drawerLayout;


        mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(getActivity(), drawerLayout, toolBar, R.string.open, R.string.close){

            @Override
            public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
                super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
                if(!mUserLearnedDrawer){
                    mUserLearnedDrawer = true;
                    saveToPreferences(getActivity(), Constants.PREFERENCES_LEARNDRAWER_KEY, mUserLearnedDrawer+"");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
                super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
            }


        };
        mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false); // If false then no hamburger menu.
        mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);
        mDrawerLayout.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mDrawerToggle.syncState();
            }
        });
    }

and views used:

// navigation_drawer_inflator.xml

// navigation_drawer_inflator_fragment.xml

Finally if you will implement this - You will be able to insert navigation drawer to any activity on run. Cheers :)
