android:parentActivityName doesn't work although android-support-v4.jar is included

Question

i've included the android-support-v4.jar library to use "android:parentActivityName="com.myApp.example.MainActivity". It's included in "Android" Dependencies" and "Referenced Libraries", but it still doesn't work ->

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'parentActivityName' in package 'android'

Any suggestions?

As @iargin said

android:parentActivityName is introduced in API 16

It's true, and building against api level 16 works fine, however from official documentation the equivalent is using meta-data tag

    <activity
        android:name="com.dwaik.actionbar.LocationFound"
        android:label="@string/loc">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.dwaik.actionbar.MainActivity" />
    </activity>

and it works on api level 15
