switch button doesnt appear as an item in OptionsMenu

i want to add a switch button as an item in options menu, preferably with its title beside him, like how the checkbox appears in the picture below

i tried this code for the menu:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
    android:id="@+id/itemSwitch"
    android:title="Switch!"
    app:actionViewClass="android.widget.Switch"
    app:showAsAction="always" />

<item android:id="@+id/itemSettings"
    android:title="Settings"
   />
<item
    android:id="@+id/itemCheckable"
    android:checkable="true"
    android:title="im checkable" />
</menu>

and it looked like this: always showAsAction

but thats not what i want, i want it as an item of the menu. so i removed app:showAsAction="always" (or wrote app:showAsAction="never", it did the same) and then thats what happened: dont showAsAction

as u see now it doesnt show the switch but only its title. if i removed the title, it just turned blank.

is there a way to show a switch as an item of a menu at all? like just like the checkbox item - but with a switch instead.

thankss!
