this is my activity class
TestActivity.java

import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;

public class TestActivity extends TabActivity {
        @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.maiin);  
         final TabHost tabHost = (TabHost) getTabHost();
            tabHost.addTab(createTab(MobiintheMorningActivity.class, 
                    "Welcome", "Welcome", R.drawable.icon));      

            tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
            tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).getLayoutParams().width = 85;
            }

        private TabSpec createTab(final Class<?> intentClass, final String tag, 
                final String title, final int drawable)
        {
            final Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(this, intentClass);

            final View tab = LayoutInflater.from(getTabHost().getContext()).
                inflate(R.layout.tab, null);
            ((TextView)tab.findViewById(R.id.tab_text)).setText(title);
            ((ImageView)tab.findViewById(R.id.tab_icon)).setImageResource(drawable);

            return getTabHost().newTabSpec(tag).setIndicator(tab).setContent(intent);
        }
    }
