    him_varma So I accomplished this by moderately hack way

    tinymce.on('AddEditor', function(e){
  e.editor.on('init', function(){
    tinymce.ui.Factory.create({
      type: 'button',
      icon: 'codesample'
    }).on('click', function(){
      // button pressing logic
      e.editor.selection.setContent('<code>' + e.editor.selection.getContent() + '</code>');
    })
    .renderTo($(e.editor.editorContainer).find('.mce-container-body .mce-toolbar:last .mce-btn-group > div')[0])
  });
  });

Thanks but didn't work for me. When I add the javascript code, some icons are showing as undefined and the new button I have added is not showing up. Please see the screenshot. Also there is no javascript error in console.

Please use only below code and then try:

tinymce.init({
  selector: '#tinyMceEditor', // insert tinymce text editor id
   setup: function (editor) {
    editor.addButton('mybutton', {
      text: 'My button',
      icon: false,
      onclick: function () {
       /* function to be performed on button click */
        editor.insertContent('&nbsp;<b>It\'s my button!</b>&nbsp;');
      }
    });
  }
});

If you are customizing the out of box tinymce editor of lithium default post editor then you will have to follow the exact same configuration as they are following. But that will be not be an optimal solution as you will break their configuration. What I can suggest to you is to create a custom message post functionality that will have a customized tinymce editor and will use Lithium's rest api to post message.
