If your purpose is to recreate an action bar, you could take a look at the ActionBarSherlock project, which backports thoses functionalities.

If you want to be able to pop such a menu anywhere in your app, you could read the implementation of the MenuPopupHelper class implementation in the ActionBarSherlock project source code.
