You need to use the contex dictionary variably for this purpose ,

If you click on the bu

<button string="Click Me" type="object" name="my_func" context="{'active' : active_id}" />

Method:

def my_func(self, cr, uid, ids, context={}):
    # do stuff using the info passed in the context variable...
