The documentation is quite sketchy as far as definitive resolutions go. After some research, here's the solution I came to: Android splash screen image sizes to fit all devices

It's basically guided towards splash screens, but it's perfectly applicable to images that should occupy full screen.

UPDATE  30 07 2014  If you use Android Studio  make sure you have at least 144x144 resource and than use  FILE-NEW-IMAGE ASSET   Android Studio will make proper image files to all folders for you        As documentation says  adjust bitmaps as follows   Almost every application should have alternative drawable resources for different screen densities  because almost every application has a launcher icon and that icon should look good on all screen densities  Likewise  if you include other bitmap drawables in your application  such as for menu icons or other graphics in your application   you should provide alternative versions or each one  for different densities   Note  You only need to provide density-specific drawables for bitmap files   png   jpg  or  gif  and Nine-Path files   9 png   If you use XML files to define shapes  colors  or other drawable resources  you should put one copy in the default drawable directory  drawable     To create alternative bitmap drawables for different densities  you should follow the 3 4 6 8 scaling ratio between the four generalized densities  For example  if you have a bitmap drawable that s 48x48 pixels for medium-density screen  the size for a launcher icon   all the different sizes should be   36x36 for low-density  LDPI   48x48 for medium-density  MDPI   72x72 for high-density  HDPI   96x96 for extra high-density  XHDPI   144x144 for extra extra high-density  XXHDPI   192x192 for extra extra extra high-density  XXXHDPI
