  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6uF9J.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I've added a custom layout file for it <strong>NotificationIcon.xml</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;!-- Menu Item Image --&gt;
    &lt;ImageButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="2dp"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:src="@drawable/notification" /&gt;
  
    &lt;!-- Badge Count --&gt;
    &lt;TextView
        android:id="@+id/actionbar_notifcation_textview"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="20dp"
        android:minWidth="20dp"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:background="@drawable/circle_green"
        android:fontFamily="sans-serif-black"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:text="0"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF" /&gt;
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And used it in my menu as <strong>main_activity_actions.xml</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
    &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/action_add"
          android:title="@string/AddTag"
          android:icon="@+drawable/ic_action_new"
          android:showAsAction="always" /&gt;
    &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/notification_icon"
          android:title="@string/PendingJobs"
          android:actionLayout="@layout/notificationIcon"
          android:icon="@+drawable/notification"
          android:showAsAction="always" /&gt;
    &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/gps_status_icon"
          android:title="@string/GPS"
          android:icon="@+drawable/gps_grey"
          android:showAsAction="always" /&gt;
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The UI looks fine but the OnOptionsItemSelected is not being called for the notification icon. It works fine for the other two.
  I did google this and ound this link: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26170423/onoptionsitemselected-not-getting-called-when-using-custom-action-view">onOptionsItemSelected not getting called when using custom action view</a></p>
  
  <p>I tried to implement it in my main activity:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public override bool OnCreateOptionsMenu(IMenu menu)
          {
              actionBarMenu = menu;
              MenuInflater.Inflate(Resource.Menu.main_activity_actions, menu);
  
              var notificationMenuItem = menu.FindItem(Resource.Id.notification_icon);
              notificationMenuItem.ActionView.Click += (sender, args) =&gt; {
                  this.OnOptionsItemSelected(notificationMenuItem);
              };
  
              return base.OnCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it does not works for me. It never fires the click event.
  Please help.</p>
