Answer 1

You use

 actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM
            | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME | ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE); 

So You Are getting Home icon.

If You want to hide app icon in Particular Activity Use

getActionBar().setIcon(new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent))); 

If You want to hide app icon in Full Application Use setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false) and setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false)

Answer 2

Try this ..

setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

More Reference

UPDATE ::- If you have customized your action bar using XML then you can try some thing like ..

<item name="android:displayOptions"></item>

This eventually will hide your app icon and title ..

As suggested on stack you can also try some combination like ..

getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(false);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
    getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.color.transparent);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);

UPDATE2

Action Bar automatically adjusts every stuff for you. For Ex: If you have lot of stuffs in you title bar then Action Bar adjusts title some thing like YourPr... instead of your complete title like YourProject.

You need not to wonder for that.

UPDATE 3

If some one want to customize ActionBar then it can easily be accomplished like ..

actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

        actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.action_bar_confirm_cabs);

        fare_ll = (TextView) actionBar.getCustomView().findViewById(
                R.id.fare_ll);
        confirm_back = (LinearLayout) actionBar.getCustomView().findViewById(
                R.id.confirm_cabs_back);
        actionBar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM);

Then now here you have your textview .. or any thing you wish like you may have a btn over here ..

Simply now apply click listener or any thing you like ..

Hope it helps!
