You might want to add extras to the intent you use to start the activity to indicate where the intent is coming from or what the request is.

For example:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, OtherActivity.class); intent.putExtra("caller", "MainActivity"); startActivity(intent); 

and then your OtherActivity could detect the "caller" in its onCreate:

String caller     = getIntent().getStringExtra("caller"); Class callerClass = Class.forName(caller);
