Why don't the app icon in title bar display when I create an app with Android Studio?

Question

Before I created Android App with eclipse, it can display the app icon in the left side of the title bar , please see the image aa.png.

Now I create Android App with Android Studio, I have add the code android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" to manifest.xml file, but the app icon don't display, please see the image bb.png, why?

BTW, The icon can display if I replace compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1' with compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.0', why? are there some bugs with com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1 ?

<activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>

If it doesn't work, you should call getSupportActionBar().setIcon(Drawable/int) or getSupportActionBar().setLogo(Drawable/int)in your Activity.
