I think what you're looking for is making menu items showAsAction and have an icon.

Here's an example of how a menu item would look like in the menu's xml:

<item
        android:id="@+id/action_about"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="@string/action_about"
        android:icon="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info"
        app:showAsAction="always" />

app:showAsAction will make it show beside the title (outside of the menu).

android:icon will give it an icon.

Here's a screenshot:

Menu icon by App name

If you put too many and force them to show with always, it would show like this:

Menu icons by App name

Just set these icons in the drawable folder. I prefer it in the medium quality. Then just add these images in your main.xml

<ImageButton 
android:id="@+id/ImageButton01" 
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
android:src="@drawable/album_icon" 
android:background="@drawable/round_button" />
