decode your byte array to bitmap, create BitmapDrawable from bitmap and use this method getActionBar().setIcon(yourBitmapDrawable); — Truong Giang Dam, Jan 08 '18 at 11:19

byte[] imageFromServer = getImageFromServer(); // assuming you get byte array from server
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageFromServer , 0, imageFromServer .length);
BitmapDrawable icon = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(),bitmap);
getActionBar().seticon(icon);
