Just add in your toolbar

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"

Try this in your code:

ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
View customView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.main_action_bar, null);
actionBar.setCustomView(customView);
Toolbar parent =(Toolbar) customView.getParent();
parent.setContentInsetsAbsolute(0,0);

Try to add app:contentInsetLeft:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
            app:layout_collapseMode="pin"
            app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
            app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
            app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />

Had this problem recently, and even after setting all the insets to 0dp there was still a gap between the NavigationIcon and the Title. Apparently this is the Margin of the TitleView, and to remove this we have to set app:titleMarginStart="0dp".

So on the whole, had to do the below to remove the entire gap.

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"
app:titleMarginStart="0dp"
