menu_example.xml:

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent
    android:orientation="horizontal" />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="My activity title">
    </TextView>
</LinearLayout>

ActivityExample.java:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle b) {
    super.onCreate(b);
    getActionBar().setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_CUSTOM); 
    getActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.menu_example);
}
