I would suggest you look at this website:

https://guides.codepath.com/android/Google-Play-Style-Tabs-using-TabLayout#design-support-library

You can iterate through the different tabs using this method and set the custom views to whatever you want:

  // Iterate over all tabs and set the custom view
    for (int i = 0; i < tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
        TabLayout.Tab tab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);
        tab.setCustomView(pagerAdapter.getTabView(i));
    }

public View getTabView(int position) {
    // Given you have a custom layout in `res/layout/custom_tab.xml` with a TextView and ImageView
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.custom_tab, null);
    TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textView);
    tv.setText(tabTitles[position]);
    ImageView img = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.imgView);
    img.setImageResource(imageResId[position]);
    return v;
}

}
