How to change the default up button icon in ANDROID API 22

Question

I want to change the default home up button Icon of Action Bar in API Level 22

I am using AppCompatV7 for API Level 22 and I am extending ActionBar Activity.

Currently it looks like

default
and want to change it as

Required

What we have done:

In my default theme style I wrote following code

<item name="android:actionModeCloseDrawable">@drawable/up_button</item>

but it does not seems to work.

By the way: `ActionBarActivity` is deprecated. Use `AppCompatActivity` instead. — Xaver Kapeller, May 22 '15 at 06:33

I think that the attribute of the up button in the theme is called homeAsUpIndicator:

<item name="android:homeAsUpIndicator">@drawable/up_button</item>
