            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int arg0) {
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        // on tab selected
        // show respected fragment view
        viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
    }

    @Override
    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
    }

}

If you are using a TabLayout, just do this (This example uses three tabs):

 //An array containing your icons from the drawable directory
 final int[] ICONS = new int[]{
            R.drawable.icon_1,
            R.drawable.icon_2,
            R.drawable.icon_3
    };

    //Get reference to your Tablayout
    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tabs);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(mViewPager);

    tabLayout.getTabAt(0).setIcon(ICONS[0]);
    tabLayout.getTabAt(1).setIcon(ICONS[1]);
    tabLayout.getTabAt(2).setIcon(ICONS[2]);
