Title: Add empty <application /> element to avoid a Gradle manifest merging error.

Per Android Team (http://stackoverflow.com/a/17757200/937715), library manifests should include an empty `` 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 but library uses targetSdkVersion='19'`.
