The best and easiest way is to make your own style

In this case, style name is Menu

<style name="Menu">
    <item name="android:colorBackground">@color/gray</item>   //color of background menu
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>       //text color
    <item name="android:listSelector">@drawable/item_bg_menu</item>     //this is for when button press color changed
    </style>

item_bg_menu

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@color/black" />  //color when button press

</selector>

and where you want use that menu in your toll bar just add this app:popupTheme="@style/Menu"
