Does the runtime matter or will the applications work still?

First you should choose what device versions you’d like to target: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
Based on those numbers it makes sense to currently support Android 2.1 and higher.
Also you should read about
<uses-sdk>directive:android:minSdkVersionandmaxSdkVersiondefine the version range to which your app will be available. If device has Android version out of this range then app will not be visible for it.targetSdkVersionis the vesrion that you are targeting and that you actually tested against. This attribute triggers Android’s compatibility behavior: for instance targeting 2.3 will not show the new look on 4.0 devices.
