Your SDK Manager should be showing you API Level 3, 4, and 7 for download, with the others showing up if you check the “Obsolete” checkbox. You might need to clear your cache (Tools > Options, then click “Clear Cache” button) and reload (Packages > Reload).
Bear in mind that the ones that show up when you check Obsolete are Obsolete for a reason: there are no devices that run those versions. Please do not waste your time to “make [your] app compatible with… 2.0”, as there are no devices that run Android 2.0. All devices that once had Android 2.0 (specifically the initial production run of the Motorola DROID) have since been upgraded to at least Android 2.1.
