how to set Activity Title in Intent?

In TabHost we can do getActionBar().setTitle("ACTITIVTY TITLE").

But what about in the intent?

Is there possible way to set title in intent?

code 

  Intent i = new Intent(MenuActivity.this, DrawerListActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "RF number: " +
                        KEY_RFnumber, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

MainActivity.class 

public void send(View view) {
  Intent intent = new Intent(this, DrawerListActivity.class);
  String message = "Drawer Title";
  intent.putExtra("key", message);
  startActivity(intent);
}

DrawerListActivity.class, in onCreate()

String message = getIntent().getStringExtra("key").toString(); // Now, message has Drawer title
setTitle(message);

Now, set this message as Title.

I got it! I just declare from my MainActivity a public static String that holds a string which I set in my Intent, then it call to my DrawerListActivity. It works perfectly! Thanks.

You can't set the title directly with the intent. You could pass along the title in the intent, and have your target activity extract the title from the intent and set it. This would only be a few lines of extra code in the target activity.
