Badging for Gamepad support
To help users identify games that support controllers, Google Play Store
includes a "Gamepad" tag on the app detail pages and a dedicated search filter
for categorical results for games which support controllers. To ensure your app

Manifest. Simply add the following line to your AndroidManifest.xml.
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.gamepad" android:required="false"/>
