Try the following code

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

After setting actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

Add the following code:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            // app icon in action bar clicked; goto parent activity.
            this.finish();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

You should define your parent activity in the manifest xml to tell where to navigate when toolbar's back button pressed.

 <activity
    android:name="com.example.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity"
    android:label="@string/title_activity_display_message"
    android:parentActivityName="com.example.myfirstapp.MainActivity" >
    <!-- The meta-data element is needed for versions lower than 4.1 -->
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
        android:value="com.example.myfirstapp.MainActivity" />
</activity>
