I found an answer:

I had to add

<item name="android:elevation">0dp</item>

Answer 2

Its not an action bar. Its a "Toolbar" Refer this link for more info http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2014/10/appcompat-v21-material-design-for-pre.html

If u want to stay with actionbar use this library. U can have that material design like animation and look : https://github.com/markushi/android-ui
