Solution is to use background with selector, and the code is here:

private void initTabsAppearance(TabWidget tabWidget) {
    // Change background
    for(int i=0; i < tabWidget.getChildCount(); i++)
        tabWidget.getChildAt(i).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tab_bg);
}

For the full Tab customization I will add the code for changing tab text style using custom theme. Add this to styles.xml:

To use this theme, define it in AndroidManifest.xml:

And now you have tab widgets with custom background and custom text style.
