I won't go into too much detail because there's an excellent post here: here in regards to adapting the searchview and why the above answers will not work.

If you would like to change your 'X', the following works to change the color

   int crossId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null);            // Getting the 'search_plate' LinearLayout.
    ImageView image = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(crossId);
    Drawable d = image.getDrawable();
    d.setColorFilter(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

If you would like to change the icon

   int crossId = searchView.getContext().getResources().getIdentifier("android:id/search_close_btn", null, null);            // Getting the 'search_plate' LinearLayout.
    ImageView image = (ImageView) searchView.findViewById(crossId);
    image.setImageResource(R.drawable.NEW_ICON_HERE);

Try this
    <style name="srcclose">   
    <item name="android:searchViewCloseIcon">@drawable/ic_search_close</item>
    </style>
