get the latest fragment in backstack

You can use the getName() method of FragmentManager.BackStackEntry which was introduced in API level 14. This method will return a tag which was the one you used when you added the Fragment to the backstack with addTobackStack(tag).

int index = getActivity().getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryCount() - 1
FragmentManager.BackStackEntry backEntry = getFragmentManager().getBackStackEntryAt(index);
String tag = backEntry.getName();
Fragment fragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(tag);

You need to make sure that you added the fragment to the backstack like this:

fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(tag);
