Whatever you do will be irregular for them.

Game developers will go with:

3. Integrate a menu into the UI of your activities.

Many game developers have been doing this for some time now, since the
classic options menu doesn't blend in with their UI look and feel
particularly well, and the action bar will probably make no sense for
them, either.

You can certainly do the same if you wish. Just make sure it's nice
and obvious for your users, since you won't be following platform
conventions.
