Here is just a more complete version for the sake of simplification:

The Menu

In your Activity or Fragment:

        // Inflater the menu based on the layout above
        inflater.inflate(menuRes, menu);


        // Set font type face
        if (setCustomFontType){
            final MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.update);
            String title = menuItem.getTitle().toString();

            Button button_menu = (Button) menuItem.getActionView();
            button_menu.setTypeface("");
            button_menu.setText(title);
            button_menu.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
            button_menu.setBackgroundColor(_getResources().getColor(R.color.transparent_color));
            button_menu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem);
                }
            });
        }

        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
