Put your handle in a RelativeLayout, and set android:layout_alignParentRight="true" on the handle.

For example like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />

    <SlidingDrawer android:id="@+id/drawer"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:handle="@+id/handle" 
        android:content="@+id/content">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:id="@+id/handle">
            <ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
        </RelativeLayout>

        <LinearLayout 
            android:gravity="center" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:background="#aaaa00" android:id="@+id/content">
            <ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="center">
            </ImageView>
        </LinearLayout>

    </SlidingDrawer>

</FrameLayout>
