Name Type Description
success boolean true if setting the tab’s icon was successful, false if setting the tab’s icon wasn’t successful.

If this method is called without passing in a tab ID, the tab in which the Visualforce page is enclosed is used. If there isn’t an enclosing tab, the error message Cannot get a workspace or view tab from the given ID displays in the browser’s developer console.
