How do I change an icon in a menu, after the menu has already been created?

Hi I'm new to Android Development, and so far learning has been going quite well, but I've hit a snag with something that is probably dead simple.

I've set up GCM with my app, it works fine. I have an icon in my android action bar that represents a notification. What I would like to do is change this icon, upon generating a notification in the app.

This is the first time I've ever asked a question on here, so please except my apologies if the question is not detailed enough or a duplicate, I've looked at other answers, but could not seem to find an exact match for what I'm trying to do.

Thanks in advance.

You can change actionbar menu item by this way. here menu is onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater). 

menu.getItem(5 here 5 is menu number).setIcon(context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_action_important));

Thanks
