How to know what Activity has started the current Activity

Question

How can I know what Activity has started the current Activity? Is there any specific method like, i.e. getIntent().getCallerActivity() or the only way is saving some information within the Intent using putExtra()?

Thanks.

There's getCallingActivity which you can use to get the name of the calling activity if you started the sub-activity with startActivityForResult.
