Light-weighted version without using ActionBarActivity that still has the same bahaviors here:

public class ToolbarConfigurer implements View.OnClickListener {
    private Activity activity;

    public ToolbarConfigurer(Activity activity, Toolbar toolbar, boolean displayHomeAsUpEnabled) {
        toolbar.setTitle((this.activity = activity).getTitle());
        if (!displayHomeAsUpEnabled) return;
        toolbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
        toolbar.setNavigationOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(activity);
    }
}

Usage: Put new ToolbarConfigurer(this, (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar), true); in onCreate.
