    You can follow multiple styles by creating subfolders with the correct android version specifiers inside your res/ folder (e.g. drawable-v11 for API 11 – check the official documentation here). So I suggest supporting multiple styles.

    This is obviously a bit more work. To make this easy for standard icons like notifications, check out the Android Asset Studio. This is a small webapp that creates these icons to your specifications and builds a zip with the multiple styles, already sorted into the different res/ subfolders.
