ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#00000000")));

actionBar.setStackedBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.parseColor("#00000000")));

You can create custom Action bar like this ..
// gets actionBar reference ..
actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
// This sets custom layout to action bar
actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.action_provider);
// this is how... .... you get id of layout defined
iv_d = (ImageView) actionBar.getCustomView().findViewById(R.id.action_menu);
Now just open you drawer on click of this icon using OnClick()
That's it .. you are good to go.
