Got to location on map activity with click from another class

Question

My app has three tabs, one of which is a Map. From the other two tabs I want the user to be able (after navigation through several screens) to go to the map tab and a certain location on the map with a button click from one of the screens which the user ends up on from the other two tabs. Is this possible?

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b);

    b.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(intentTest.this,second.class );
            startActivity(intent);                
        }

Thanks for this, do you know of a way to move to a specific point in the map with the same button click, I thought it might be possible with bundling a string identifier with the intent and reading it on the map class but I'm really not sure. Also, Do you know how this would work with a tab set up? As I would surely have to set the current tab view to the map as well. — W0lf7, Mar 04 '12 at 07:49
