setLogo() or setIcon() method, none of them will work if you haven't set the DisplayOptions properly.

Just do this,

   getSupportActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME | 
   ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE | ActionBar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP | ActionBar.DISPLAY_USE_LOGO);
   actionBar.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

You can customize the constants as you like.

UPDATE

Please add this to hide the back button,

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

The "up" affordance indicator is provided by a drawable specified in the homeAsUpIndicator attribute of the theme. To override it with your own custom version it would be something like this:

<style name="Theme.MyFancyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/my_fancy_up_indicator</item>
</style>

If you are supporting pre-3.0 with your application be sure you put this version of the custom theme in values-v11 or similar.

Try this:

getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

Instead of

getSupportActionBar().setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
