I do not know It will work for you or not but try this way,because I have button,add custom item..

  <item
    android:id="@+id/badge"
    android:actionLayout="@layout/feed_update_count"
    android:icon="@drawable/shape_notification"
    android:showAsAction="always">
 </item>

Button

     <Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/notif_count"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:minWidth="32dp"
      android:minHeight="32dp"
      android:background="@drawable/yourthings"
      android:text="0"
      android:textSize="16sp"
      android:textColor="@android:color/white"
      android:gravity="center"
      android:padding="2dp"
      android:singleLine="true">    
     </Button>

Youractivity

static Button notifCount;
static int mNotifCount = 0;    

@Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

View count = menu.findItem(R.id.badge).getActionView();
notifCount = (Button) count.findViewById(R.id.notif_count);
notifCount.setText(String.valueOf(mNotifCount));
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

private void setNotifCount(int count){
mNotifCount = count;
invalidateOptionsMenu();
}
