If you have setup Toolbar and inflated menu correctly, just use these two function in MainActivity

@Override
public boolean onMenuOpened(int featureId, Menu menu) {
    //Perform some action on menu open
    return super.onMenuOpened(featureId, menu);
}

@Override
public void onPanelClosed(int featureId, Menu menu) {
    //Perform some action on menu closed
}

Setup toolbar in onCreate function of MainActivity

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

And inflate your menu which is defined in xml file

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

my_menu.xml
