Compatiblity for Contextual ActionBar

Question

If we are providing compatibility for ContextualActionBar to a lower Android version, should we fall back to a floating context menu on those devices(below Android 3.0) ?

is there no support from AppCompat Support Library from Google?

will ActionBarSherlock support ContextualActionBar in Lower Android devices?

Quoting from the docs

Note: The contextual action mode is available on Android 3.0 (API level 11) and higher and is the preferred technique for displaying contextual actions when available. If your app supports versions lower than 3.0 then you should fall back to a floating context menu on those devices.
