How to exclude a specific resource file from Android build?

Question

I have been working on creating multiple product flavors. I have a requirement to include only specific set of file into the build from the source directory. I have used the include filters as given below

lean {
            java{
                srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
                setIncludes(new HashSet(['com/zos/zid/CustomBuild.java']))
            }
            res {
                srcDirs = ['src/main/res']
                setIncludes(new HashSet(['drawable/**']))
           }
           manifest.srcFile 'src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'
}

The include filter works as expected for the Java sources, however it does not work for the Android resource files.
