how add icon in toolbarItem in xamarin?

My xamarin android project does not have Drawawble folders under Resources, I haveI'm trying to set icon for a toolbar item in shared project. If I set an image as embedded resource I should be able to access it from the shared project, am I wrong

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
x:Class="BoringAppUi.MainPage" Title="Main Page">
    <ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
        <ToolbarItem Text="Logout" Clicked="OnLogoutButtonClicked" Order="Primary"  Priority="0"/>
        <ToolbarItem Text="Home" Icon="@mipmap/baseline_home_blue_48.png" Clicked="OnHomeIconClicked" Order="Primary" Priority="1"/>
    </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <StackLayout>
            <Label Text="Main app content goes here" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" />
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

You also need to create the Folder Resources and Drawable to add Images. Link

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    <ToolbarItem Text="Logout" Clicked="OnLogoutButtonClicked" Order="Primary"  Priority="0"/>
    <ToolbarItem Text="Home" Icon="baselinehomeblue48.png" Clicked="OnHomeIconClicked" Order="Primary" Priority="1"/>
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
