Well you need to determine is what is a valid tablet as there are plenty out there running 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1 etc before you even get to the latest ICS which is already on a newer version so this covers levels 7 through to 15.
The other issue is that there are no phones I am aware of running Android 3.X.
I would target level 14 which is ICS but this cuts off many phones running 2.2 and above so you need to code your application to detect what the api level is and run code depending on what the api level is you detect at runtime.

These libraries seem to offer what you want without you having the headache of dealing with different api levels yourself.
