3 <lightning:button label="Set Focused Tab Icon" onclick="{! c.setFocusedTabIcon }" />
4 </aura:component>Controller code:

2 setFocusedTabIcon : function(component, event, helper) {
3 var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
4 workspaceAPI.getFocusedTabInfo().then(function(response) {
5 var focusedTabId = response.tabId;
6 workspaceAPI.setTabIcon({
7 tabId: focusedTabId,
8 icon: "action:approval",
9 iconAlt: "Approval"
10 });
11 })

13 console.log(error);
14 });

16})Response
This method returns a promise that, upon success, resolves to a
tabInfo object representing the modified tab. A
tabInfo object is a JSON array of
information about a workspace tab, with nested arrays of information on each subtab.
This is the structure of a tabInfo
object.
