Yes
Do note that some API calls will throw Exceptions on Froyo. To avoid this,
use Reflections
For example: my app supports from Froyo upward, but Froyo does not support
icons on the Preference Activity. So I use this to set the icon for ICS,
and skip the step on Froyo
void
Many of the features in 4.1 can also be found in the Support Package
(formerly the ACL). Depending on the exact features you need, you may be
able to build your app for 4.1 and then backport it to 2.2, by adding the
Support Library to the project.

Another thing you can do is check the API level... I do that for a few
features in my app. Then you don't have to use reflection.

You generally don't need to use reflection for this. That's a really
awkward way to do it... just check the platform version number and only
call the API if it is = the version where that API was introduced.

Should i develop in Android 2,2 or 4.1? If I develop in Android 4.1 can I
make the android:minSdkVerision=8 so that Android 2.2 and up users can
download it ?
Develop for the latest API possible... Use the minSdkVersion attribute as
you mentioned and you should be fine. Just make sure that
