For Android 6.0 Google remove dividers.

Material Themes doesn't display it.

can you try this code :

  <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <group android:id="@+id/grpSort" android:checkableBehavior="single" >
     <item
        android:id="@+id/action_sort"
        android:checked="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_sort"
        android:title="@string/sort" />
   </group>

   <group android:id="@+id/grpHelp" android:checkableBehavior="single" >
    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_Help"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_help"
        android:title="@string/help" />
   </group>

It's important to add a unique id to each <group>.

Thanks, I saw this option in other questions and it didn't work for me. I wonder, maybe the problem is that the divider has the same color as the background, so it actually, transparent? — Sharas, Mar 17 '16 at 15:57
