I got it, I'm trying to change all elements of toolbar dynamically. I'm missing right now ActionMenuViews [look at my question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32569989/change-drawer-burger-arrow-icon-dynamically-without-styling-toolbar). — MiguelHincapieC, Sep 16 '15 at 20:53

Using appcompat-v7:23.0.1 next code worked for me:

int color = Color.parseColor("#FFEEEE00");
final PorterDuffColorFilter colorFilter = new PorterDuffColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

for (int i = 0; i < toolbar.getChildCount(); i++) {
    final View v = toolbar.getChildAt(i);

    if (v instanceof ImageButton) {       
        ((ImageButton) v).setColorFilter(colorFilter);
    }
}

Use it in public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)

This works, thanks. And needs to be set in onCreateOptionsMenu, otherwise it doesnt work. At least for me. – Zokran Jan 11 '16 at 10:36

You can use setTint of the new DrawableCompat class (from support v4 lib)

// Get the icon you want as a drawable
Drawable drawable = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_menu, null);
// "Enable" tinting process
drawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(drawable);
// Tint it
DrawableCompat.setTint(drawable, Color.BLACK);
// Set it as action bar icon
actionBar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(drawable);

For more details about drawable tinting see Chris Bane post about support lib V22.1

Yes I try this, but now there is no animation – Rafal Ulko Aug 26 '15 at 14:18 — Rafal Ulko, Aug 26 '15 at 14:18
