1. go custom holo theme , set tabwedget yes , choose preferred color.

2. download zip, copy on project.

3. add tabadapter view created inflating tab_indicator_holo.

    view mindicator = inflater.inflate(r.layout.tab_indicator_holo, mtabhost.gettabwidget(), false);     textview title1 = (textview) mindicator.findviewbyid(android.r.id.title);      title1.settext("tab1");      mtabsadapter.addtab(mtabhost.newtabspec("tab1").setindicator( mindicator), fragment1.class, null);      view mindicator2 = inflater.inflate(r.layout.tab_indicator_holo,      mtabhost.gettabwidget(), false);     textview title2 = (textview) mindicator2.findviewbyid(android.r.id.title);      title2.settext("tab2");     mtabsadapter.addtab(mtabhost.newtabspec("tab2").setindicator(mindicator2), fragment2.class, null);
