when overriding the optionsmenu in a fragment a menu reference is passed, this goes through activity's onCreateOptionsMenu first, so you can find and modify the menuItems.

@Override
    public void onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
          menu.findItem(R.id.shouldModifyinFragment).setTitle("newTitle");
}

the easy way to do this ...... first of all build actionBar in your activity look at the DOC.! then change the title like below!

In your Activity:

public void setActionBarTitle(String title){
YOUR_CUSTOM_ACTION_BAR_TITLE.setText(title);
}

In your Fragment:

((yourActivity) getActivity()).setActionBarTitle(YOUR_TITLE);
