@yousefjoe4 Sure, Toolbar items are not buttons but you can add a button or any other component that you can create programmatically using setActionView and get it using getActionView(). Example :-

ImageButton imageButton = new ImageButton(this);
imageButton.setId(123);
imageButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
imageButton.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myIcon));
//
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.weight = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.tool_bar_button_width);
layoutParams.height = (int) getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.tool_bar_button_height);
//
imageButton.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
toolBarItem.setActionView(imageButton);
// Show hint for tool bar item/button   
showcaseView.showHintForView(toolBarItem.getActionView());
// Remove toolBarItem image button that we have added programmatically
toolBarItem.setActionView(null);
