How to replace Navigation Drawer menu with back arrow

After reading the following question, I still can't figure out how to replace my Navigation Drawer's menu with a simple back arrow that lets my user go back to the previous Fragment.

So far I'm able to hide the button to access the Drawer like such:

public void setDrawerState(boolean isEnabled) {
    if ( isEnabled ) {
        drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_UNLOCKED);           
        toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
        toggle.syncState();

    }
    else {
        drawer.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);           
        toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
        toggle.syncState();
    }
}

How may I add the back arrow at its place?

It's little late but I found one workaround. I have used following in my activity

Firstly set drawer locked mode

 fullLayout.setDrawerLockMode(DrawerLayout.LOCK_MODE_LOCKED_CLOSED);

Then add below code to display back button

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Then create drawer toggle and add drawer listner. Use below code.

 ActionBarDrawerToggle mToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, fullLayout, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    mToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
    mToggle.syncState();
    mToggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            //Backpress action
            finish();
        }
    });
    fullLayout.setDrawerListener(mToggle);

Note - method setDrawerListener is deprecated. Modify above code as per your need.
