Like overflow menu overlaps the toolbar same way spinner overlaps itself when it is shown drop down item in lollipop and above android version. So I need to place it below the spinner view not over it.

You can use 

 android:overlapAnchor="false"

This will show the dropdown below the spinner view (Work on api level 21 and higher).
