How to call an activity method (not start) from ItemizedOverlay?

Question

I use MapActivity with my own class extending ItemizedOverlay. I would like to achieve a result described below:

When user tap an element on map I would like to get the data from tapped item (title, snippet) and pass it to the MapActivity. In MapActivity I have a method that handle that data but I do not know how can I pass that data across application (maybe I should use Handler?)

Generally you pass data by starting Activities using the Intent system. Here is a good SO question about it:

How do I pass data between Activities in Android application?

But why I have to start a new activity if the target activity would still be the same MapActivity? ;) – M. Hryszczyk Jan 20 '12 at 22:20
