Action Bar Drawer Toggle Custom Icon

I'm trying to use the action bar drawer toggle, but I would like it to display something more than just the menu icon. I want it to display a notification count in the top right corner of my custom menu icon, but I still want the action bar drawer toggle to display the back arrow when needed.

Therefore, I first tried to see if I could display a custom layout (containing an imageview for my menu icon and a textview for my notification count) on the action bar drawer toggle but whithout success.

I then tried to create a menu item containing my custom menu icon. When this menu item is clicked, I open/close the navigation drawer, but I can't manage to display a textview containing my notification on the menu icon.

Any help/idea is appreciated :)

Solution

try these way:

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.setTitle("hi");
        actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(
                R.drawable.actionbar_back_color));
        actionBar.setIcon(getResources().getDrawable(
                R.drawable.image_crush_home_drawar_icon));
        actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar_right_two_icon);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
        actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
