For getting effect as I wan’t I am using drawable image as follow and I am getting result as I wan’t almost same as your.

ImageView view1;
TabHost tabHost;
tabHost = getTabHost()
TabHost.TabSpec spec;
Intent intent;

view1 = new ImageView(this);
view1.setOnTouchListener(view1Touch);//for identifying touch newly added.
view1.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_image);
intent = new Intent().setClass(this, AnohterActivity.class);
spec = tabHost.newTabSpec(TAG_1).setIndicator(view1).setContent(
                intent);
tabHost.addTab(spec);

=======================

OnTouchListener view1Touch = new OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            v.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_focus);
        }

}

and TabChangeListener you might be already added.
