AFAIK there are only two ways your APP will not show up on playstore

  1. OS version is less than minsdk version supported by app. I don't think this is the issue for you as you are using minsdk as 8.
  2. Device needs some feature that tablet does not support. This will most likely be the culprit.

Before jumping to conclusions your best option is to browse that app from browser. Here you can see if the app is compatible with list of your devices. Here you would see reason as to why your app is not compatible. Attaching a screenshot from similar issue I faced -

enter image description here

For me it looks like phones not having GPS dont have access to this app. You could try

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="false" />
