Determining current Activity Android

I have an issue in my app. I'm creating a sort of improvised menu bar that has to be included in all activities in my app, I want to determine which activity is loaded currently so that via an intent the application will link to the Activity that is linked to a button:

public void graphAction()
{
    Intent i = new Intent(this, GraphActivity.class );
    this.startActivity(i);
}

try below function to get the top activity name.

  private String getTopActivityName() {
        ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(
                ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        // get the info from the currently running task
        List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);
        ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
        return componentInfo.getShortClassName();
    }

You might want to consider using ActionbarSherlock (http://actionbarsherlock.com/) But I do not understand why you would want the currently active activity? If the graphAction is not in the activity but some custom object, just pass the activity there (or better: use a context object, Activities should not be passed around)
