Black area is shown at left side in custom Action Bar

Question

I found answer here : Android Lollipop, AppCompat ActionBar custom view doesn't take up whole screen width

I'm using Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar and setting custom layout in actionbar, But black area is displayed on the left side of actionbar.

This is the code of custom layout.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/color_red" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/actionbarBack_backButton"
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:background="@drawable/back_transparent_white"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:src="@drawable/icon_back_white" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/actionbarBack_title"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:text="Some text"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    android:textSize="18sp" />

<View
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:padding="10dp" />

 </RelativeLayout>

This is the code, how I'm using in activity:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.actionbar_back_title);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

onStart:

@Override 
public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();

    ActionBar actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionbar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
    actionbar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
    actionbar.setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
}

Can anyone tell me what is the issue ?
