How to have toolbar icon the way whatsapp has in android

Question

I am trying put image exactly with the back button of toolbar. But i don't know how to achieve it. The closest i got was this :

but this is not nearly what i want. I want it exactly with the back button meaning that the back button and the image combined should be equal to the back button. So how do i achieve this??

my code was pretty simple :

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
toolbar.setLogo(ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext, R.drawable.group_image));

So can someone please help me.

Try something like this

 getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
 getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
 getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon);

You can create custom view for your action bar and set that view.

actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.conversation_actionbar);
