If you want to change icon title menu in the actionbar toolbar programmatically   STEP by STEP   Declare Menu in class       private var mMenu  Menu    null    Overide onCreateOptionsMenu method and find item so you need to change  override fun onCreateOptionsMenu menu  Menu    Boolean   mMenu   menu menuInflater inflate R menu menu  menu  if  mIsFavorite       mMenu  findItem R id action favorite   icon   yourDrawable   else       mMenu  findItem R id action favorite   icon   yourDrawable   return true     Use invalidateOptionsMenu   to update some changes in menu after onCreateOptionsMenu executed  This method will re-create menu
