Why the menu items appear on the optionsMenu?

问题:

Despite there are some icons associated with certain action and have no enough space in the Actionbar, they appear in the optionsMenu instead of appearing in the overflow icon.

I am inflating the actionBar with five icons each one has a specific functionality "Please refer to the XML file below", the items which have the android:showAsAction=never I expect them to implicitly reside inside the overflow icon on the actionBar, but when I run the App, any item with the property android:showAsAction=never instead it appears in the optionsMenu. Why that happens? and I hope i explained the problem clearly.

Update:

Simply, I want, if there is no space for the icon to be placed on the ActionBar, They should be placed inside the overflow icon as shown in the image " the icon with three vertical dots over each other".

To Note:

I am using Galaxy Note3

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.action_bar_activity_test00, menu);
    return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
