Answer 1

you can use toolbar property for this

app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp"

like this use in toolbar

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"
    app:contentInsetLeft="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStart="0dp"
    app:contentInsetStartWithNavigation="0dp" />

Answer 2

if you are using Toolbar then add the following line in Toolbar in xml

app:contentInsetStart="0dp"

Update:

You mean you want toolbar like Whatsapp. but it's not done by using App-compat Support Library Toolbar you have to use Custom Action Bar.

You can get the following result as shown in the Picture below

by using following code.

activity.xml

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar_chats"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
            <include layout="@layout/custom_toolbar"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

custom_toolbar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?actionBarSize"
>
<!-- android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless" will cause this Custom View to make ripple effect -->

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/conversation_image"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:contentDescription="@string/abc_action_bar_up_description"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/conversation_contact_photo"
            android:layout_width="35.0dip"
            android:layout_height="35.0dip"
            android:src="@drawable/icon"
            android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/conversation_image"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingBottom="2.0dip"
    android:paddingLeft="4.0dip"
    android:paddingRight="0.0dip"
    android:paddingTop="0.0dip" >


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/action_bar_title_1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.6"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:text="shanraisshan"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/action_bar_title_2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.4"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:text="last seen 1 hour ago"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:textSize="12sp" />


</LinearLayout>

YourActivity.java

final Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar_chats);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
toolbar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.e("Toolbar","Clicked");
    }
});
