UPDATE: Forget about the TRICKY way below, just sub-class ShareActionProvider, return null in onCreateActionView Method, and provide your own icon in menu.xml file, everything will be fine

I found a very tricky but none-ActionBarSherlock-specific way:

1. Sub-class ShareActionProvider, with just a little tweak:

   @Override
   public View onCreateActionView() {
       View target = super.onCreateActionView();
       ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.actionbutton_share, null);
       ImageView overlay = (ImageView) viewGroup.findViewById(R.id.overlay);
       ViewGroup container = (ViewGroup) viewGroup.findViewById(R.id.container);
       container.addView(target);
       container.getLayoutParams().width = overlay.getLayoutParams().width;
       container.getLayoutParams().height = overlay.getLayoutParams().height;
       return viewGroup;
   }

3. Use the hacked ShareActionProvider in your menu.xml file
