It is not possible to add icons in overflow menu item as per googles new change, If u still want, try this. for device with overflow hardware button: override hardware button click and show a transparent fragment with list view as like over flow menu in samsung devices(S3, s4) with icon.

for devices without hardware button: use sub menu to look as menu. google still supports icon in sub menu.

That's how it's supposed to work.

If the icon shows in the action bar, it will only show the icon (with an optional title by using android:showAsAction="always|withText" or android:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText").

If the icon does not show in the action bar, it will only show in the overflow menu as text. Note that there is no "withIcon" enum value for the android:showAsAction attribute.

If you are trying on Android 3.0+, it won't show icons in the menu items. Google has removed them in order to make the menu look similar on different apps. See icon in menu not showing in android and on Android Developers blog.
