As stated in the documentation, you can create a new layout with an ImageView with android:id="@android:id/icon" and set it as the custom view for the tab. The TabLayout will automatically place the icon in the inner ImageView with android:id/icon

Then in you code you can call the setIcon(R.drawable.yourIcon) while you create the tab.

Then you can apply you custom layout within a for loop :

mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.searchpin));
mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.discussionpin));
mTabLayout.addTab(mTabLayout.newTab().setIcon(R.drawable.userpin));

for (int i = 0; i < mTabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
    TabLayout.Tab tab = mTabLayout.getTabAt(i);
    if (tab != null) tab.setCustomView(R.layout.view_home_tab);
}

Here is the xml :
