change navigation up icon

I'm trying to change the "Navigation Up" icon with a drawable image(in eclipse) but all I can do now is change the logo(ic_launcher) instead. I uploaded an image here is the link for image to circling the icon which I want to change. I tried to change it by using "@styles" but was unsuccessful. Thanks in advance for any help. Here is my code:

public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
	
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);		
		
		getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
		setContentView(R.layout.second_layout);
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
		
		switch(item.getItemId()){
			case android.R.id.home:
				Intent intent = new Intent(this,MainActivity.class);
				intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
				startActivity(intent);
		}	
		return true;
	}
}

You need to use a custom theme for your activity in the manifest. The style should look like this,

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

finally set the style in the manifest,

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/MyTheme" >

You can also achieve this programatically,

Without support library 

ActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_yourindicator);

With support library

getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(R.drawable.ic_yourindicator);
