If you don't want to call setHeader() for every request you create you can set the http client parameter CoreProtocolPNames.USER_AGENT. After doing this HTTP client will automatically add this header parameter to each request.

Something like:

client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.USER_AGENT, "Custom user agent");

when you create your HttpClient.
