Waheguru ji
thanks for the answer

from android course on udacity

One can use
logo
instead of
android:logo

and
displayOptions
instead of
android:displayOptions

to avoid target sdk error

so code can be something like

<style name="Widget.ActionBar.Logo">
        <item name="logo">@drawable/app_text_logo</item>
        <item name="displayOptions">useLogo|showHome</item>
</style>
