Here adding app:titleMarginStart="32dp" solve.

pay attention on app prefix

in context:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
    app:logo="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    app:title="@string/app_name"
    app:titleMarginStart="32dp" />

Use Toolbar default title margin left 16dp And we can change it with app:contentInsetStart="100dp"

Or if you had a navigation icon,the title marigin left 56+16=72dp defalt, So you can change it with app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="56dp"

Option 1: Don't recommend:

Set title with space before your text. For example " Your title"

Option 2: Add your custom TextView under your Toolbar and you can custom this TextView in your xml layout or your activity class

For example:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar 
        android:id="@+id/toolbar" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize" 
        android:background="#0F6177" 
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" > 
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/text_toolbar_title"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
                android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
                android:text="@string/app_name"
                android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
                android:textStyle="bold" />

</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
