I know this has been answered, but i always do this in my method when having the same back-button-like capability in another ActionBarActivity. 

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    switch(item.getItemId()){
        case android.R.id.home:
                finish();
            break;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

and ofcourse:

actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

You may/may not used this, its up to you :)

Along with

actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

or

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

you can try using this in Activity, too:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case android.R.id.home:
        onBackPressed();
        return true;
    default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

So your menu item "Home"'s click will be handled using that.
