Conditionally include meta-data in Android manifest file

Is there way to conditionally include meta-data element in Android manifest file based on value set in Gradle. I am able to do following (using resValue to set <some_value> in build.gradle) but haven't been able to find way to include/exclude complete meta-data element.

    <meta-data
        android:name="<some_setting>"
        android:value="@string/<some_value>" />
