Solution 1:

you can use toolbar property for this

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"app:contentInsetStart="0dp"app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"

like this use in toolbar

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
    app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp" />

Solution 2:

if you are using Toolbar then add the following line in Toolbar in xml

app:contentInsetStart="0dp"

Update:

You mean you want toolbar like Whatsapp. but it's not done by using App-compat Support Library Toolbar you have to use Custom Action Bar.

You can get the following result as shown in the Picture below

by using following code.

activity.xml

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayoutandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content" ><android.support.v7.widget.Toolbarandroid:id="@+id/toolbar_chats"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"><includelayout="@layout/custom_toolbar"/></android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar></android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

custom_toolbar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RelativeLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
