create style xml in values folder :

<resources>
  <style name="CustomWindowTitleBackground" /> 
  <style name="CustomTheme" parent="android:Theme">
  <item name="android:windowTitleSize">32dp</item> 
 <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/CustomWindowTitleBackground
 </item> 

</style>
</resources>

then refer it in manifest as :

 android:theme="@style/CustomTheme">

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

and setBackground to your layout in layout file...

Like,,,

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    
  android:orientation="vertical"  
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"  android:background="@drawable/up_bar" <---Add this
     android:layout_height="32dp">

and Remove imageview from xml

You need to play a little with styling in order to override this behavior. Define a custom theme (style) as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="customTitle">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/up_bar</item>
    </style>
    <style name="myTheme" parent="android:Theme"> 
        <item name="android:windowTitleBackgroundStyle">@style/customTitle</item>
    </style>
</resources>

and then use this theme in your activity by applying android:theme="@style/myTheme" to your desired activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml

Do you have different images for different resolutions? It might be that your image simply does not fit that space, and that you need a larger one. Be careful though, you might run into issues with your app working across different platforms with scaling.
