Per Android Team (http://stackoverflow.com/a/17757200/937715), library manifests should include an empty `<application />` element. Otherwise, the application cannot use a targetSdkVersion number that is different than the library when using Gradle/Android Studio. If the app uses a different targetSdkVersion, you get a compile error `Manifest merging failed. - Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion='8'> but library uses targetSdkVersion='19'`.
