I am not talking about the tab icon - the tab background is defined as a few different images, e.g:
android-sdk/platforms/android-4/data/res/drawable-mdpi/tab_focus.9.png These files can change between versions and carrier implementations, so if you want something constant you'll have to define it yourself. In fact if you look in android-sdk/platforms/android-8/data/res/drawable-mdpi/ you'll see both tab_selected.9.png and tab_selected_v4.9.png one of which is light, one dark. So I'm guessing if you want the v4 version your targetSdkVersion probably needs to be v4. Hope that helps.
