Android Navigation drawer: How to change actionBarMenu according to drawer list item select

I have a Navigation drawer in my app. It has a list of items. I use a switch statement and replace a current Fragment with a completely new Fragment which has its own views and logic.

My problem is that each Fragment has its own menu item in the action bar. I don't know how to change the actionBar menu item according to the selected drawer list item. I have tried lots of tutorials and ended with no result. Some sample code would really help.

Thanks in advance.

create menuitemlist.xml in your menu folder. You can define your menu and sub menu here. EX: 

<item
    android:id="@+id/filter"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
     android:icon="@drawable/filter_data"
    android:title="projectlist"
    android:titleCondensed="FILTER">
      <menu> 
           <item
            android:id="@+id/search"
            android:title="Search"/>

    </menu>


</item>


<item
    android:id="@+id/profilename"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    android:title="details"
    android:titleCondensed="fullmode">
</item>
<item
    android:id="@+id/login"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="here"
    android:titleCondensed="about">
    <menu> 

    <item
            android:id="@+id/it1"
            android:title="list1"/>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/it2"
            android:title="list2"/>
        <item
            android:id="@+id/it3"
            android:title="list3"/>
    </menu>

</item>

<item
    android:id="@+id/admin"
    android:icon="@drawable/admin"
    android:showAsAction="always"
    android:title="welcome"
    android:titleCondensed="welcome">
</item>

In activity:

 @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menuitemlist, menu);
        return true;
    }
