Sample Code

This component has a button that, when pressed, sets the label of the focused tab to “Focused Tab”.

Component code:

1<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
2    <force:workspaceAPIAccess aura:id="workspace" />
3    <lightning:button label="Set Focused Tab with Label" onclick="{! c.setFocuseTabLabel }" />
4</aura:component>

Controller code:

1({
2    setFocusedTabLabel : function(component, event, helper) {
3        var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace"); 
4        workspaceAPI.getFocusedTabInfo({
5            callback : function(error, response){
6                var focusedTabId = response.tabId;
7                workspaceAPI.setTabLabel({
8                    tabId : focusedTabId, 
9                    label : "Focused Tab"
10                });
11            }
12        });
13    } 
14})

The relative URL used in this example is a placeholder. To try this example yourself, use a relative URL with a record ID from your org.

Response
