From the developer-document:

Note: Android also supports low-density (LDPI) screens, but you normally don't need to create custom assets at this size because Android effectively down-scales your HDPI assets by 1/2 to match the expected size.

I suggest you to enlarge 32 px icon to 36px and then either keep it in ldpi folder or keep 72x72 resolution images in hdpi folder.

Enlarge 32 px icon to 36px and then either keep it in ldpi folder or keep 72x72 resolution images in hdpi folder as @illegal-argument suggested below is the snapshot of project explorer, as you can see you can find ldpi and hpdi inside res folder
