First of all, create a menu resource file and add the following code.

<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
   <item 
        android:id="@+id/settings"
        android:title="Settings"/>
 </group>

then, in your MainActivity (Activity where you want to show the three dots in toolbar) create a method onCreateOptionsMenu and onOptionItemSelected,

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
    getMenuInflater.inflate(R.id.menu_settings, menu);
    MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.settings);
    return true;
  }

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
     int id = item.getId();
     if (id == R.id.settings){
          startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, SettingsActivity.class));
     }
     return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }
