SearchView.OnCloseListener does not get invoked

Question

Im using an action bar and adding a searchView to it. I have implemented the searchView.onCLoseListener but this does not seem to be getting invoked. Any suggestions ?

    MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener expandListener = new MenuItemCompat.OnActionExpandListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
            // Do something when action item collapses
            /*Hiding the mic on search visibility*/
                myMenu.findItem(R.id.action_speak).setVisible(false);
            Log.v("test","colllapse");
            return true;  // Return true to collapse action view
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
            // Do something when expanded
            Log.v("test","expand");
            return true;  // Return true to expand action view
        }
    };

    //Searchview Initilisation
    MenuItem searchViewItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
    // Assign the listener to that action item
    MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(searchViewItem, expandListener);
