you must call you actionBar almost similar to how you would inflate a view and remember to use tool bar

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)this.findViewById(R.id.action_bar);
      if(toolbar!=null){

      }
      //getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
      getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
      getSupportActionBar().setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);

      getSupportActionBar().setLogo(R.drawable.ic__actionbar);

      // Set up the action bar.
      final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
      if (showTabs) actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

      // Create the adapter that will return a fragment for each of the three
      // primary sections of the activity.
