Here is my solution for the question:

First, create an id file under res/values named ids.xml:

Then, within the code where tabs are created, do the following:

for (int i = 0; i< tabLayout.getTabCount(); i++) {
        TabLayout.Tab mTab = tabLayout.getTabAt(i);
        if (mTab != null) {
            switch (i){
                case 0:
                    View tabViewOne = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(i);
                    tabViewOne.setId(R.id.tab_id_one);
                    //ect..
                    break;
                case 1:
                    View tabViewTwo = ((ViewGroup) tabLayout.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(i);
                    tabViewTwo.setId(R.id.tab_id_two);
                    //ect..
                    break;
                case 2:
                    //etc..
            }
        }
    }

Note: Views tabViewOne and tabViewTwo can be made global variables where it will give access to their ids anywhere within the class/activity/fragment.
