You could use this format for your ActionBarDrawerToggle:

mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
    R.drawable.CUSTOM_ICON, // Navigation menu toggle icon
    R.string.DRAWER_OPEN, // Navigation drawer open description
    R.string.DRAWER_CLOSE // Navigation drawer close description
    )

Change your drawable and make sure it is the same name as the one in the code.

To toggle the indicator you've to use:

public void toogleDrawer(boolean value){
  mDrawerToggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(!value);
  getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(value);
}

Please post the complete code relating to your drawer fragment, and action bar setup(if any) and also the relevant layouts. You've to research around a bit before asking the question. Check this question here : Cannot listen clicks on up caret
