Answer 1

in your second fragment do this:

1)get tabWidget from you activity(getActivity().getTabWiget())

2)View tab = tabWidget.getChildTabViewAt(1);

3)find any view inside the tab and change it

final ImageView iconView = (ImageView) tab.findViewById(android.R.id.icon); 
iconView.setImageDrawable(mIcon);
