FragmentActivity is the base class for support based fragments. So you will be using Fragment from support library below api level 11 in which case your Activity needs to extend FragmentActivity.

 ↳  android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity
                       ↳    android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity

You will use ActionBarActivity when you need actionbar below API level 11 by using AppCompat library. In this case your Activity extends ActionBarActivity.

As you see ActionBarActivity extends FragmentActivity
