Another option that I actually use is change the manifest for each application. Instead of copy the resource folder, you can create a manifest for each flavour.

sourceSets {
  main {
 }

  release {
    manifest.srcFile 'src/release/AndroidManifest.xml'
 }

  debug {
    manifest.srcFile 'src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml'
 }
}

You have to have a principal AndroidManifest in your src main that will be the principal. Then you can define a manifest with only some options for each flavour like (src/release/AndroidManifest.xml):

For debug, AndroidManifest (src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml):

Compiler will do a merge of the manifest and you can have a icon for each flavour.
