AFAIK, there's not much you can do. The tabs are scrollable at the pixel level IIRC, so it is entirely possible that the user will happen to swipe such that there is no obvious clue that there are more tabs to one side (or it might start that way due to an unlucky combination of screen dimensions and tab contents).
Bear in mind that only in few situations will the tabs be tabs. Some of the time, they will be converted into a drop-down, as if you had chosen NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST instead of NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS.
