        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?android:attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/colorAccent">

        </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

Actually it is only happens on Android version Lollipop and above. To remove the padding, you can set the content inset to 0dp

Add these to your toolbar

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"

It has been reported as an issue here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=213826

Add these 4 attributes in your toolbar it should help you override that effect.

android:contentInsetStart="0dp"
android:contentInsetLeft="0dp"  app:contentInsetLeft="0dp" app:contentInsetStart="0dp"

Do let me know if this was of any help.
