You can use resValue, eg.

debug {
    resValue 'string', 'app_name', '"MyApp (Debug)"'`
}
release {
    resValue 'string', 'app_name', '"MyApp"'
}

Make sure your AndroidManifest uses android:label="@string/app_name" for the application, and remove app_name from strings.xml as it will conflict with gradle's generated strings.xml when it tries to merge them.
