You can pass some meta-data to recognize from which activity you are coming.

While going to activity B from activity A

Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
i.putExtra("some_key","A");
startActivity(i);

While going to activity B from activity C

Intent i = new Intent(C.this, B.class);
i.putExtra("some_key","C");
startActivity(i);

In activity B you can test from which activity you are coming.

String activity = getIntent().getExtra("some_key");

if(activity.equals("C")){
    // hide your view
}
else{
    // show your view
}
