You can do it using the styles:

 <style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
    <item name="spinBars">true</item>
    <item name="color">#FE1B56</item>
    <item name="barSize">20dp</item>
    <!--<item name="thickness">3dp</item>-->
</style>

Add this in your parent theme

 <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>

I also wanted the icon to be wider, so I used Gimp (image editor) to make it wider (just added a few more pixels of the grey lines and extra transparency to the right). The Action Bar displays the icon appropriately and moves the other elements over to fit (like the action bar title). I've provided the image below in case you want to use it: ic_drawer.png wider

For padding you can use:

ImageView view = (ImageView)findViewById(android.R.id.home);
view.setPadding(left, top, right, bottom);

Regarding the Icon width have you tried using a larger icon?
