You can use the following code to poll the current activity every second. If you want to reduce polling time you can reduce sleep time to 500 and wait*2 :

public void waitForActivity(String desiredActivity, int wait) throws InterruptedException
{
    int counter = 0;
    do {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        counter++;
    } while(driver.currentActivity().contains(desiredActivity) && (counter<=wait));

    log("Activity appeared :" + driver.currentActivity(), true);
}
