Add the following code in your action bar styles:

<item name="android:displayOptions">showHome|homeAsUp|showTitle</item>
<item name="displayOptions">showHome|homeAsUp|showTitle</item>
<item name="android:icon">@android:color/transparent</item>

To hide complete action bar use this code in MainActivity.java before calling this line SetContentview

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);   // This code will hide Action Bar form your UI
setContentView(R.layout.mailActivity);

Updated : use this to hide application icon

PackageManager p = getPackageManager();
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(this, com.apps.MainActivity.class); // activity which is first time open in manifiest file which is declare as <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
p.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName,PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

<style name="AppTheme"
    parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/MyActionBar</item>
</style>

<!-- ActionBar styles -->
<style name="MyActionBar"
    parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
    <item name="android:logo">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

This will work for you
