Have a targetSdkVersion of 11 or higher, and probably 14 or higher. This will give you an action bar (vs. the classic title bar) on API Level 11+ devices. Your former options menu will either appear via a tap on the ... overflow menu affordance, or by pressing an off-screen MENU button, depending on the device. Older devices will continue to display the classic options menu. If you wish, consider using ActionBarSherlock, to have the ICS behavior working back to API Level 7.
