Question

Answer 1

The best way to do it :

1. Find toolbar in Activity and set it as supportActionBar.

Toolbar actionBarToolBar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_toobar);
setSupportActionBar(actionBarToolBar);

2. Then It will be a piece of cake to handle option menus for different fragments over a same Activity. Do following things in each fragment as you want:

In OnCreateView Method call

setHasOptionsMenu(true);

And Lastly,

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}

And to manage menu items click, we have onOptionsItemSelected:

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.action_search :
            Log.i("item id ", item.getItemId() + "");
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}
