    [button1 setFrame:CGRectMake(00,15,50,26)];
    [button1 setTitle:@"User Avtar" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    button1.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin;
    [self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:button1];

Try this

UINavigationBar *navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 44.0)];
UINavigationItem *item = [navigationBar.items lastObject];

Now set your created barbuttonItem to the item's rightBarButtonItem,

item.rightBarButtonItem = button;

It's works for me.
