 View close = searchPlate.findViewById(R.id.search_close_btn); close.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.selectable_background_orange); 

or set the style for searchViewCloseIcon:

 <item name="android:searchViewCloseIcon">@drawable/ic_close</item> <item name="searchViewCloseIcon">@drawable/ic_close</item> (Support Library)
