You need to add command elements to the menuContribution and use the style=toggle attribute.

<menuContribution
      locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar?after=additions">
    <command
           commandId="my.command1"
           label="Simple Item"
           style="toggle">
     </command>
</menuContribution>
