Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're looking for but if you want to change some values when the user returns to a specific tab you can do that in the onResume method of your activity.

Answer 2

i also face the same problem but i resolve this issue like this way... this is my TabActivity class...

public class MainActivity extends TabActivity {
TabHost tabhost;
String cTab = "0";
String nTab;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    tabhost = getTabHost();

    TabSpec one = tabhost.newTabSpec("0");

    // setting Title and Icon for the Tab
    one.setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
    Intent songsIntent = new Intent(this, FirstActivity.class);
    one.setContent(songsIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
    one.setContent(songsIntent);

    TabSpec two = tabhost.newTabSpec("1");
    // setting Title and Icon for the Tab
    two.setIndicator("", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
    Intent songsIntent1 = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
    two.setContent(songsIntent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
    two.setContent(songsIntent1);

    TabSpec three = tabhost.newTabSpec("2");
    // setting Title and Icon for the Tab

    three.setIndicator("",
            getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
    Intent songsIntent4 = new Intent(this, ThirdActivity.class);
    three.setContent(songsIntent4.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
    three.setContent(songsIntent4);

    TabSpec four = tabhost.newTabSpec("3");
    // setting Title and Icon for the Tab
    four.setIndicator("", getResources()
            .getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_launcher));
    Intent songsIntent5 = new Intent(this, FourthActivity.class);
    four.setContent(songsIntent5.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP));
    four.setContent(songsIntent5);

    tabhost.addTab(one);
    tabhost.addTab(two);
    tabhost.addTab(three);
    tabhost.addTab(four);
    tabhost.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabChanged(String arg0) {
            cTab = "" + tabhost.getCurrentTab();

        }
    });

    int numberOfTabs = tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();
    for (int t = 0; t < numberOfTabs; t++) {
        tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(t)
                .setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                            String currentSelectedTag = MainActivity.this
                                    .getTabHost().getCurrentTabTag();
                            nTab = currentSelectedTag;
                            System.out.println(" nTab  " + nTab);
                            System.out.println("  cTab  " + cTab);
                            if (cTab.equals(nTab)) {
                                if (nTab.equals("0")) {
                                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                                    intent.setAction("com.ensis.first");
                                    MainActivity.this.sendBroadcast(intent);
                                }
                                if (nTab.equals("1")) {
                                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                                    intent.setAction("com.ensis.second");
                                    MainActivity.this.sendBroadcast(intent);
                                }
                                if (nTab.equals("2")) {
                                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                                    intent.setAction("com.ensis.third");
                                    MainActivity.this.sendBroadcast(intent);
                                }
                                if (nTab.equals("3")) {
                                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                                    intent.setAction("com.ensis.fourth");
                                    MainActivity.this.sendBroadcast(intent);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                        return false;
                    }
                });
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}}

This is my FirstActivity Class.

  public class FirstActivity extends ActivityGroup{
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

ok();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.ensis.first");
registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter);

/**/
    }

   private void ok() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
setContentView(R.layout.firstscreen);
Button bt=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Intent it=new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SubActivity.class);
        replaceContentView("activity3", it);
    }
});
    }

    public void replaceContentView(String id, Intent newIntent) {
        View view =     getLocalActivityManager().startActivity(id,newIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)).getDecorView();
        this.setContentView(view);
    }

     private BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
     {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.v("22222222222222222", "22222222222");
        ok();
    }
     };}
I don't know whether it is exactly suitable for your answer or not.change the code as your needs...
