I've gone through all the answers above and a number of others posts but still couldn't find something that worked for me (with different fragment types along with dynamically adding and removing tabs). FWIW following approach is what worked for me (in case anyone else has same issues).

public class MyFragmentStatePageAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {
    private static final String TAB1_TITLE = "Tab 1";
    private static final String TAB2_TITLE = "Tab 2";
    private static final String TAB3_TITLE = "Tab 3";

    private ArrayList titles = new ArrayList<>();
    private Map fragmentPositions = new HashMap<>();


    public MyFragmentStatePageAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }


    public void update(boolean showTab1, boolean showTab2, boolean showTab3) {
        titles.clear();

        if (showTab1) {
            titles.add(TAB1_TITLE);
        }
        if (showTab2) {
            titles.add(TAB2_TITLE);
        }
        if (showTab3) {
            titles.add(TAB3_TITLE);
        }
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }


    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return titles.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        Fragment fragment = null;

        String tabName = titles.get(position);
        if (tabName.equals(TAB1_TITLE)) { 
            fragment =  Tab1Fragment.newInstance();
        } else if (tabName.equals(TAB2_TITLE)) {
            fragment =  Tab2Fragment.newInstance();
        } else if (tabName.equals(TAB3_TITLE)) {
            fragment =  Tab3Fragmen.newInstance();
        } 

        ((BaseFragment)fragment).setTitle(tabName);
        fragmentPositions.put(fragment, position);
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        return titles.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemPosition(Object item) {
        BaseFragment fragment = (BaseFragment)item;
        String title = fragment.getTitle();
        int position = titles.indexOf(title);

        Integer fragmentPosition = fragmentPositions.get(item);
        if (fragmentPosition != null && position == fragmentPosition) {
            return POSITION_UNCHANGED;
        } else {
            return POSITION_NONE;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        super.destroyItem(container, position, object);
        fragmentPositions.remove(object);
    }
}
