I don't know any elegant way to do it. but this might help you out. basically it eliminates big screens.

<manifest>
....    
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true"
                      android:normalScreens="true"
                      android:largeScreens="true"
                      android:xlargeScreens="false"
                      android:anyDensity="true"
                      android:compatibleWidthLimitDp="integer"
                      android:largestWidthLimitDp="integer"/>
    <application>
    ......
    </application>
<manifest>

Yes, you need to add restrictions to your manifest.

...To do so, you can enable filtering by external services such as Google Play by adding elements to your manifest file that specify the screen configurations your application supports.
