To set your custom action items (refresh, check in, ...) you must override onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) and set your custom menu.

e.g:

File menu/my_menu.xml

Then in your activity (or fragment):

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
  MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
  inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_menu, menu);

  // Allow activity and fragments to add items
  super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

  return true;
}

And to be notified when they are selected, just override onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item):

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
  switch (item.getItemId())
  {
    case android.R.id.refresh :
      // refresh your data...
      return true;

    default :
      return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }
}
