First the p:tabView should be bound to managed bean, so that we can access the UIComponent from code:

< !-- bind to a bean property so that we can manipulate it later in code:

< p:tabView id="tabs" binding="#{tabController.view}" />

The bean must at least contain the setters and be requestScoped:

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class TabController {
    private TabView view;
    public TabView getView() {
      return view;
    }
    public void setView(TabView view) {
      this.view = view;
    }

Then a new tab can be added from process logic. Its seems to be a little tricky to pass the start parameters correctly. They must be passed a string el-expression even if the object behind it is already resolved elsewhere:
