Try this way, this is exactly what you looking for

   @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

        // adds item to action bar
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.search_main, menu);

        // Get Search item from action bar and Get Search service
        MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
        SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) MainActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
        if (searchItem != null) {
            searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
        }
        if (searchView != null) {
            searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(MainActivity.this.getComponentName()));
            searchView.setIconified(false);
        }

        return true;
    }
