Creating custom tabhost like in chrome browser for Android

Question

I want to create custom tabhost for browser like tabs. I am confused about how to apply it for a layout like in chrome browser tab as in the image.

Here is what I have tried. I want to know how to create that edges with slope as in the image.

tab_selected.xml

<item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#DCDCDC" />

        <corners
            android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
            android:topRightRadius="5dp" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item
    android:bottom="2dp"
    android:left="1dp"
    android:right="1dp"
    android:top="1dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#DCDCDC" />
        <corners
            android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
            android:topRightRadius="10dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

tab_unselected.xml

<item android:top="10dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#AAAAAA" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#AAAAAA" />

        <corners
            android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
            android:topRightRadius="10dp" />

    </shape>
</item>

I hope it can be done using Pathshape in XML. Can anyone point me out for a reference? Unable find a reference on PathShape

It is working fine with two nine patch images. One for active tab and one for inactive tab.
