Do like this...

tabhost
 .getTabWidget()
 .getChildAt(/*Index of the tab of which you want to change the background*/)
 .setBackground(/*the background res you want to set */)

Finally got the solution

public void setTabColor(TabHost tabhost) {
        for(int i=0;i<tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++)
        {
             tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackground(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.share_tab_bg)); // selected
        }
    }

Try this

spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("orders")
       .setIndicator("Orders",res.getDrawable(R.drawable.flash_36))
       .setContent(R.id.ordersLayout);
