ANDROID: Overflow not showing on action bar

I need that if the tablet does not have the menu hardware button... it will show the menu button on the software buttons as you see here:

enter image description here

So I've googled a bit and found out that to display this button you only need to:

"set minSdkVersion to 10 or lower, set targetSdkVersion to 11, 12, or 13, and you do not use ActionBar, the system will add the legacy overflow button when running your app on a handset with Android 4.0 or higher."

"Set your android:targetSdkVersion and your android:minSdkVersion to something less than 11."

I've tried both but nothing works. I don't understand why. Maybe because the minimum SDK of my application is: API16 Android 4.1 ?

Can anybody give me an hint of why this is not working?

That Works only when your application is backwards compatible with Ginger Bread (2.3).
