But I am having one problem i.e related to back image while searchview expands.

This is my action bar with icon and other search and drawable icon.

This is my onCreateOptionsMenu method.

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu items for use in the action bar
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    try {
        search = (MenuItem) menu.findItem(R.id.search);

        MenuItemCompat.setOnActionExpandListener(search,
                new OnActionExpandListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item) {
                        // Do something when collapsed

                        layoutList.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                        return true; // Return true to collapse action view
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item) {
                        // Do something when expanded

                        layoutList.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                        return true; // Return true to expand action view
                    }
                });

        SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat
                .getActionView(search);

        setSearchTextColour(searchView);

        searchView.setQueryHint(getString(R.string.search_hint));
        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(this);
        searchView.setOnCloseListener(new OnCloseListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onClose() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Debugger.debugE("on close");

                layoutList.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                return false;
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
    }

    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

and to show actionbar

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    SpannableString s = new SpannableString(getString(R.string.app_name));
    s.setSpan(new TypeFaceSpan(getContext(),
            getString(R.string.font_gothum)), 0, s.length(),
            Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
    actionBar.setTitle(s);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color
            .parseColor("#bb0404")));

There is nothing else that I had used.

note: In all other navigation from the main screen icon which is showing in first image is coming. Issue is only with searchview.

Thanks in advance.

Try changing your app theme on your styles.xml

You can do something like this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="ActionBar" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
    <item name="android:icon">@drawable/myicon</item>
</style>
