customize action bar in android

I need to customize action bar to look like this photo

enter image description here when click on image of right it opens slide menu from right of screen , that works fine I tried that so far 

getActionBar().setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.action_bar));
    getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

action_bar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<item>
    <shape
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/fb"
        android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#00C78C" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item>
    <bitmap
        android:gravity="center"
        android:src="@drawable/aslogo" />
</item>

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_settings"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:showAsAction="never"

    android:title="@string/action_settings"/>

If you are using Android's native Actionbar, proper RtL is only supported post Android 4.2: change action bar direction to right-to-left

If you want to support older Android versions, you probably have to customize one of the open source actionbar libraries, and use SlidingMenu for sliding from right action.

ok first of all .. remove your title with 

getActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

then you should use orderInCategory in your xml file and it will order from less number to greater (from left side of your action bar) ...
