android - Navigation Drawer Icon (ic_drawer) not showing

Question

I am implementing a navigation drawer for my app. Now it works perfectly except for one small glitch. When I set the Navigation Drawer Icon (ic_drawer) to replace the regular "HomeAsUp" caret icon, I still get the arrow. The Nav Drawer icon does not show. I have implemented every method that was on the android developers website. But it doesn't seem to work.

Below is my code:

DrawerLayout mDrawerLayout;
FrameLayout leftDrawer, rightDrawer, contentFrame;
ActionBarDrawerToggle mDrawerToggle;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);
    initializeViews();
}

private void initializeViews() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.mDrawerLayout);
    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this,
            mDrawerLayout, R.drawable.ic_drawer,
            R.string.drawer_open_content_desc,
            R.string.drawer_close_content_desc);

    getActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
    getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

    leftDrawer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerLeft_frame);
    rightDrawer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawerRight_frame);
    contentFrame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.content_frame);
}


@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.home, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

I know it is quite late to answer this but this would help someone atleast.

You should probably add these lines of code to show that navigation icon.

@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
    // Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
    mDrawerToggle.syncState();
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    mDrawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
