Well actually...

I wouldn't have the Fragment try to finish the Activity. That places too much authority on the Fragment in my opinion. Instead, I would use the guide here: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/communicating.html

Have the Fragment define an interface which the Activity must implement. Make a call up to the Activity, then let the Activity decide what to do with the information. If the activity wishes to finish itself, then it can.
