Here you can find some best practices and suggestions from Google: https://developers.google.com/awareness/best-practices
If you need only the Awareness API, import only that:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-contextmanager:9.4.0'
The full play-services import is not necessary, it is too heavy.
The sample app from Google uses minSDK 14.
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-awareness
You can easily try it out, if it works on lower API level too.
I think the "only" restriction is the "play-services". So if your target devices have no play-services (e.g. lot of Chinese products), your app will not work.
