using the following code you can enable USB tethering. i didt test in 4.0.

 public void switchOnTethering() {

                Object obj = getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
                for (Method m : obj.getClass().getDeclaredMethods()) {

                    if (m.getName().equals("tether")) {
                        try {
                            m.invoke(obj, "usb0");
                        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                }
        }
