Theres no need to create custom theme

In source code..

   TextView tv =  (TextView) mTabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(index).findViewById(android.R.id.title); 
   tv.setAllCaps(false);

    setAllCaps() is not available in android 2.x, this solution will not work there. – Manohar Dec 14 '12 at 14:10

    @Manohar Well, TABS are not available in android 2.x so this entire question is relevant only for Android 3+. In case you are using ActionBarSherlock or ActionBarCompat library the similar approach is applied there. – Alex Semeniuk Jun 27 '14 at 09:25

The default theme for tab views in Android 4.0 (the Holo theme) has android:textAllCaps set to true. You can create your own theme and then apply it to the action bar in your manifest to override this behavior. For more information on styling the ActionBar and creating your own styles, see:
