You can write the following code in for (int i = 0; i < tab.getTabWidget().getChildCount(); i++) tab.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_selected); tab.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tab.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_unselected);

in onCreate() method
