Use menu items like below:

<item
        android:id="@+id/workteamaction"
        android:icon="@drawable/yourimage"
        android:title="@string/yourtitle"
        app:showAsAction="always" />

And set your image.then, handle it for showing that NavigationDrawer.

Also, take a look:

Use android:gravity="" for your porpuse and then handle it for showing that NavigationDrawer.

E.g: android:gravity="end"

Read the docs for the flags.(right-left-center-buttom or etc).
