Answer 1

If you wouldn't mind refreshing every fragment every time a tab changes, you could simply override the getItemPosition() method of your FragmentPagerAdapter and make it return always the value POSITION_NONE. Example:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   return POSITION_NONE;
}

By doing that, you tell android to refresh the fragment each time the view pager tries to get it. Performance wise, it isn't the best practice. So there is a second approach:

First, create an interface to be called when your need refresh:

public interface Updatable {
   public void update();
}

Then, make your fragments implement this interface:

public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements Updateable {

   ...

   @Override
   public void update() {
     // refresh your fragment, if needed
   }
}

If your really wish to not update your first fragment, do nothing in its update() method.

Third, override the getItemPosition method and call update(). This will be called every time a fragment gets selected:

@Override
public int getItemPosition(Object object) {
   Updatable f = (Updatable) object;
   if (f != null) {
      f.update();
   }
  return super.getItemPosition(object);
}

Most of this code came from this answer.
