I'm making a mobile application, which I'm looking for to make a search engine, but I'd like to type the magnifying glass icon on the keyboard in the edittext of the search, how is that possible?

Instead of an EditText you can use the SearchView widget. 

<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

</android.support.v7.widget.SearchView>

EditText with magnifying glass.

An option using the EditText is defining the icon using the android:drawableLeft property, and using the android:hint property for the text: 

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edtSearchProduct"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="Busca en Twitter"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_magnifglass" />

But it is advisable to use the widget SearchView that has implemented the animation and deletion of text within the widget: 

<SearchView
    android:id="@+id/searchSomething"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

For the suggestion text use the property android: queryHint , example: 

android:queryHint="Busca en Twitter"
