Using style also you can do this (code is based on support-v7 library)

    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

             <item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">@style/MyActionBarTabs</item> 
             <item name="actionBarTabStyle">@style/MyActionBarTabs</item>

    </style>

    <style name="MyActionBarTabs" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.TabView">

       <item name="android:background">@drawable/tab_selector</item>
        <item name="background">@drawable/tab_selector</item> 

    </style>
