You should take a very close look to the Search section on Android developper website.

Basically you need to create a Searchable activity in your application by declaring it in the manifest :

<activity android:name="SearchActivity" android:excludeFromRecents="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
    </intent-filter>
    <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@xml/searchable" />
</activity>

This activity will handle any search request made when the user uses his phone's search button. The search query (what the user typed in the text field) will appear in the intent calling your search activity. You can use it like this in your activity onResume() method :

Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH)) {
    String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
    // do something with the query... 
}
