The blog post for the Design Support Library release, of which FloatingActionButton is a part of, states the following:

With a little help from the new Android Design Support Library, we’re bringing a number of important material design components to all developers and to all Android 2.1 or higher devices.

Android 2.1 is API level 7, so apps targeting 7 and above can use FloatingActionButton

The FloatingActionButton is available to API 7 (android 2.1), as it was added to the Android Support library in 2015: http://android-developers.blogspot.ca/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html

To use the fab using the support library you can use the answer provided here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31753179/6543020
