As far as I know this cannot be done in the manifest. However, you can write some code to achieve this. Have a look at the setRequestedOrientation method of Activity. Details in the documentation.

However, this will probably not generate the best user experience.

Write line given below in your defined Activity in Androidmanifest.xml,

 android:screenOrientation="unspecified"

AFAIK Tablets have default orientation set to Landscape. So this should automatically handled

May this help you:

Instead of fixing the orientation on the manifest, you could use setRequestedOrientation. On the onCreate method of each activity, check if you are on a tablet or smartphone and set the desired orientation.

Another option could be Creating Multiple APKs for Different Screen Sizes, depending on your needs.
