I am not sure why you call this tutorial Context Menu because Context menus and Options menus are two totally different concepts in Android.  This tutorial is simply working with the Options Menu (which supports XML layouts etc...)  The Context menu is usually done in code, and does NOT support icons (unless you use custom libraries or use a hack by having a Dialog Window act like a Context menu).
