Actually I was tried thing same before unfortunately not find any solution so I just go trough this possible solution.

Made a parent menu a showAlways it will keep your icon visible in action bar area and it will open your submenu.

 <item
        android:id="@+id/action_settings1"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_share"
        android:orderInCategory="100"
        android:title="Main 1"
        app:showAsAction="showAlways">

Showing Icons for Inner Menu Items, but not Showing Icon for Main Menu Items
