Get current route name in AppServiceProvider in Laravel 5.1

I have an installation of Laravel 5.1 and I want to share the route name with all my views. I need this for my navigation so I can highlight the corresponding navigation menu button depending on which page the user is on.

I have this code in my app\Providers\AppServiceProvider:

public function boot()
{
    $path = Route::getCurrentRoute()->getName();
    view()->share('current_route_name', $path);
}

and I am using this namespace:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

but I am getting this error in my view:

Call to a member function getName() on a non-object

the interesting part is that if I write this in view it works with no problems at all:

{{ Route::getCurrentRoute()->getName() }}

Could anyone help me? am I not using the correct namespace or maybe it is not even possible to use Route at this point in the application?

Thank you!

you can use view share under view composer.

    view()->composer('*', function($view)
    {
        $view->with('current_route_name',Route::getCurrentRoute()->getName());
    });

Or 

 view()->composer('*', function($view)
    {
        view()->share('current_route_name',Route::getCurrentRoute()->getName());
    })
