You can detect when a tab has been pressed using the UITabBarDelegate methods: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UITabBarDelegate_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/intf/UITabBarDelegate

You can make your UITabBarController class be the delegate and add the method in the implementation:

- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item 
{ 
    NSLog(@"tab selected: %@", item.title); 
}
