Setting overlapAnchor allowed me to overlap anchor view without setting offset:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="popupMenuStyle">@style/PopupMenu</item>
</style>

<style name="PopupMenu" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Light.PopupMenu">
    <item name="overlapAnchor">true</item>
</style>

The PopupMenu wraps a ListPopupWindow inside it. This ListPopupWindow wraps AppCompatPopupWindow using this overlapAnchor attribute. All this in the support library.
