4.0 introduced an improved linker over 1.2.0, decreasing the minimum app size
from 4.2MB to 2.9MB. Are you on 4.0.1? How many architectures are you
supporting? Supporting both armeabi and armeabi-v7a will increase your .apk
size by ~1MB over just supporting one of them.

2.9 MB is the minimum Release .apk size in 4.0.1 (It might be possible to get
something smaller than the HelloWorld sample, but not significantly so, and it
wouldn't do much...)
