Answer 1

I had the same problem.

To show icon use:

getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_your_icon);

in your activity onCreate()

And for color add:

<item name="colorPrimary">@color/your_color</item>

to "CustomActionBarTheme" (not to "MyActionBar"!)

And your theme should look like:

<style name="CustomActionBarTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
        <item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/MyActionBarTabs</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/your_color</item><!--put your color here-->
        <!-- Support library compatibility -->

        <item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TabText</item>
         <item name="android:actionBarTabBarStyle">@style/Divider</item>
    </style>

And the other stuff in your theme.xml stays unchanged
