You should change showAsAction to showAsAction="always" or showAsAction="ifRoom" and it will automatically put your item to the ActionBar as an item with icon.

If you want to show the item in the overflow menu not in the ActionBar as an item, then you should inflate a PopUp manually with custom layout. Then you can put whatever you want. But it is not simplest thing to do.
