intent = new Intent().setClass(this, MyChildTabActiviy.class);
// Initialize a TabSpec for eac

Have a look at the answer mentioned here. He's pretty much done the same thing as you, but if you look at the first comment on the highest rated answer, Cdsboy got it working by implementing OnDown and returning true. I'm not sure why that is needed, but it worked for me.
