You should be using official Font Awesome Library,

https://github.com/bperin/FontAwesomeAndroid

there is DrawableAwesome in FontAwesome Library, that you need to construct it by using

DrawableAwesome drable = new DrawableAwesome.DrawableAwesomeBuilder(Context context, int icon).build();

and set in your FAB. int icon is id of String resource You can also customize rendering options like Shadow, Bold etc, Just check DrawableAwesome

Another library is available, In case anyone wants to check. https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-iconify
