You can use some os technology to provide actionbar in apps with API level less then 11.

Consider using ActionBarSherlock. You can just add it as library project to your project and if you won't set the Sherlock theme it won't show action bar(in case you don't want to show it), yet you can mark your menuitems with "showAsAction". On devices with API level higher than 10, action bar with your menuitems will be normally shown.
