Align ActionBar Navigation Tab icons above the tab text?

The app has an ActionBar, and the ActionBar has Navigation Tabs, each containing text. I need to add icons to the tabs, in addition to the text.

I have added the icons using ActionBar.Tab.setIcon(drawable) successfully, but the icon shows to the left of the tab text.

How do I move the tab icon so it is ABOVE the navigation tab text?

(I'm using ActionBarSherlock, but figure the solution to this will work across native and ABS implementations)

In the styles.xml file you can add an <item name="android:drawableTop">@drawable/your_image.</item> This will work if you want all of the images to be the same across the top. I don't quite know how to do this for tabs that use different images yet unfortunately.
