Add the following method to your class that extends TabActivity

 public void addNewTab(Context context, String title, int height){
     TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();  // The activity TabHost
     Intent intent = new Intent().setClass(context, HelloTabsActivity.class);
     TabHost.TabSpec spec = tabHost.newTabSpec(title.toLowerCase()).setIndicator(title).setContent(intent);
     tabHost.addTab(spec);
     int totalTabs = tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();
     ((RelativeLayout)tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(totalTabs-1)).removeViewAt(0);
     ((TextView)((RelativeLayout)tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildTabViewAt(totalTabs-1)).getChildAt(0)).setHeight(30);
     tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(totalTabs-1).getLayoutParams().height = height;
 }

then call it like this addNewTab(this, "tab title", 30);
