I'm not sure that i 100% understand the problem. If you want custom view as your tab indicator there is API for that http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TabHost.TabSpec.html#setIndicator(android.view.View)

From 1.6 you can provide a custom view to setIndicator – Laureate

Thanks for reply. May you give sample code snippet for that View. it will be More understandable. :) – Talos

I will tonight, but basically - define layout, inflate it. Set it as indicator. Look at foursquare project ( it's open source ) - UserDetailsActivity should have an example of what you're looking for. – Laureate
