Try to setup this style to fragments or activities in the tabs:

    <style
        name="NoWindowContentOverlay">
    <item
        name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    </style>

I have already done this to hide the shadow for now.. But i need to show the shadow at the right place.. – Ron Oct 12 '12 at 06:10
I'm not sure if there is API for it, but you can do it manually by using special tab widget background with negative margin – Jin35 Oct 12 '12 at 06:26

I solved this using

android:foreground="@drawable/drop_shadow"
android:foregroundGravity="bottom|fill_horizontal"

on the FrameLayout tag.
