As per my understanding it’s better to use segment-controller in such cases, But if you don’t wanna use it you can apply the image to your bar buttons in following way.

UIImage *image=[[UIImage imageNamed:@"barbuttonimage.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:50 topCapHeight:10];
// Specify width & height as per your need..

CGRect frameimg = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width,image.size.height);

UIButton *someButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frameimg];

[someButton setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[someButton addTarget:self action:@selector(myBarbuttonEvent)
         forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

 UIBarButtonItem *myBarbutton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:someButton];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=mailbutton;

[someButton release];

Hope this helps you. Thanks.
