Getting area, controller and action names inside filter attributes

I have global attribute in which i need to know the area, controller and action. I can't use RawUrl due to routes (inside area registration and attribute routing). I have followed the following two approaches but in both cases, my area is coming back as null. When i use a route then i get the area name just fine. Why is my area null when i do redirecttoaction or url.action or type the url manually etc? We are using MVC 5.0.

var routingValues = RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData(new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current)).Values;

                        var currentArea = (string) routingValues["area"] ?? string.Empty;
                        var currentController = (string) routingValues["controller"] ?? string.Empty;
                        var currentAction = (string) routingValues["action"] ?? string.Empty;

var handler = HttpContext.Current.Handler as System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler;
                            var area = handler.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["area"];
                            var controller = handler.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"];
                            var action = handler.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["action"];

Like i said above, if i use a route (/TipHotLine) then i get the area name just fine.

public class AgencyAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration 
    {
        public override string AreaName 
        {
            get 
            {
                return "Agency";
            }
        }

        public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context) 
        {
            context.MapRoute(
                "Agency_default",
                "Agency/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

            context.MapRoute(
                "tiphotline",
                "tiphotline",
                new
                {
                    controller = "tiphotline",
                    action = "Index",
                    Area = "Agency"
                }
            );


        }
    }
