Add this attribute to your toolbar in xml file app:collapseIcon

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
     android:id="@+id/toolbar"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbarHeight"
     app:collapseIcon="@drawable/collapseBackIcon" />

After a day search i resolved it by adding app:collapseIcon="@drawable/back_arrow" to the custom toolbar

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    app:collapseIcon="@drawable/back_arrow"/>

I could change the color using Reflection.

try {
    final Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    Field mCollapseIcon = toolbar.getClass().getDeclaredField("mCollapseIcon");
    mCollapseIcon.setAccessible(true);
    Drawable drw = (Drawable) mCollapseIcon.get(toolbar);
    drw.setTint(color);
}
catch (Exception e) {
}
