You shouldn't set a max sdk. You can set minSdk to 18, and targetSdk to 21.
If you set a max, that means if there's a new android version, people won't
be able to download your app, you'll have to make an update.
As for the error you get, it's mainly a lint error. If the code is in an if
statement like you showed, there's no reason someone with API 18 enters
into this if statement. You'll just have to add @SuppressLint("NewApi")
before your method.
Have a look at this stackoverflow page, it'll help.
