Android : Restart An Activity Within A Tabhost?

I've searched and I know it seems some people frown upon using activities within tabs, but moving past that...how would I restart a tabbed activity while still keeping the tabs visible? I have an activity in a tab, I use the menu to create a new activity to update the tab's activity displayed info, when I return from the menu activity I want the new information to be displayed in the tab's activity. I am using startActivityForResult() from the menu choice, but when I return and try to restart the activity...it wipes out the tabs above(I guess as expected, but I want to re-launch the refreshed activity within the tab).

Creating the tabs:

TabHost host = getTabHost();
Intent home_intent = new Intent(constants.HOME_ACTION,
null, this, homeTab.class);
Intent inbox_intent = new Intent(constants.INBOX_ACTION,
null, this, inboxTab.class);
Intent stats_intent = new Intent(constants.STATS_ACTION, null,
this, infoTab.class);

host.addTab(host.newTabSpec(constants.HOME_TAG)
.setIndicator(getText(R.string.home_label),
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon))
.setContent(home_intent));
host.addTab(host.newTabSpec(constants.INBOX_TAG)
.setIndicator(getText(R.string.inbox_label),
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon))
.setContent(inbox_intent));
host.addTab(host.newTabSpec(constants.STATS_TAG)
.setIndicator(getText(R.string.stats_label),
getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon)).setContent(
stats_intent));

Return from the menu activity in the tab's activity(updating database info): code...
