Вы действительно не хотите использовать TabHost и Tabwidget в файле макета XML для настройки ваших вкладок.
Я сделал все это с помощью кода в классе, который расширяет TabActivity, и для каждой вкладки я простосвязал Activity с собственным файлом XML Layout, который позаботился о макете пользовательского интерфейса для этой конкретной вкладки.
Вот класс TabActivity, а также пример XML background_selectors, который заботится о внешнем виде TABМетка.
