Solution from @SaXXuM works great! Task is not necessary for renaming artifact. You can call setProperty() directly in the android {} block. I prefer to have in the file name:

• app id
• module name
• version name
• version code
• date
• build type

This is how I use it in my projects:

build.gradle:

apply from: "../utils.gradle"

android {
    ...
    setProperty("archivesBaseName", getArtifactName(defaultConfig))
}

utils.gradle:

ext.getArtifactName = {
    defaultConfig ->
        def date = new Date().format("yyyyMMdd")
        return defaultConfig.applicationId + "-" + project.name + "-" + defaultConfig.versionName + "-" + defaultConfig.versionCode + "-" + date
}

The result is: com.example-app-1.2.0-10200000-20191206-release.aab

It works for both - APK and AAB.
