Add the following code :

var settings = new ToolbarItem
{
    Icon = "icon.png",
    Text = "Settings",
};

this.ToolbarItems.Add(settings); //<-- this line

The icon.png in located in Resource\Drawable folder. If you want use the ToolbarItem in xaml, you need do :

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    <ToolbarItem Name="Menu1" Activated="OnClick"  Order="Primary" Priority="0"  Icon="icon.png" />
    <ToolbarItem Name="Menu2" Activated="OnClick"  Order="Primary" Priority="1" />
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
