For MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener to work you should add "collapseActionView" added in the menu item - for example -

And in the onCreateOptionsMenu you can use it this way -

MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(menu_search,
            new OnActionExpandListener()
            {
                @Override
                public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item)
                {
                    // Do something when collapsed
                    return true; // Return true to collapse action view
                }

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