your closing statement "...i can stick into a handler ( using a handler since the thread cant touch the UI itself ) that brings that activity, tab to the front or selected." seems to me the answer.
that is, put a handler in the "realizing" activity to periodically realize something has happened. then call TabHost.setCurrentTab() to automatize tab switching. (prepare to handle onPause and onResume) i feel it should work.
