you can also add below code in AndroidManifest xml   android icon   android color transparent    It will work fine   But I found that this gives a problem as the launcher icon also become transparent   So I used   getActionBar   setIcon new ColorDrawable getResources   getColor android R color transparent       and it worked fine   But if you are having more than one activity and want to make the icon on an activity transparent then the previous approach will work

If you ve defined android logo       in the  lt application gt  tag of your AndroidManifest xml  then you need to use this stuff to hide the icon   pre-v11 theme   lt item name  logo  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt    v11 and up theme   lt item name  android logo  gt  android color transparent lt  item gt    The use of these two styles has properly hidden the action bar icon on a 2 3 and a 4 4 device for me  this app uses AppCompat
