Changing menu item's text background in toolbar

Question

How to change menu item's text background while clicking on it? The higlight color on whole item is right, but it seems that text has it's own background color. I think that deal is in settin on app:popupTheme, but I don't know what style parameters I should set.

Kindly Use this and set the desired color.

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.your_menu, menu);

    int positionOfMenuItem = 0; // or whatever...
    MenuItem item = menu.getItem(positionOfMenuItem);
    SpannableString s = new SpannableString("My MenuItem");
    s.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED), 0, s.length(), 0);
    item.setTitle(s);
}

and for change text color : Setting the "android:textColor" will work

<style name="AppTheme.ActionBar" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        ...
        <!--This would set the menu item color-->
        <item name="android:textColor">#000</item>
        ...

It doesn't work. The text color is changed, but color of the text background - is still white (it must be gray), when highlight color of whole item is gray. – user3352926 Apr 10 '17 at 07:26
