title: How can I get raw <meta-data> values?
body: <p>I'm using a few <code>&lt;meta-data&gt;</code> elements in my <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> to configure a library. I ran into an interesting problem. It looks like the Bundle returned by <code>PackageItemInfo.metaData</code> are cast to a type upon parsing.</p>
  
  <p>This is annoying, because it means that a <code>&lt;meta-data&gt;</code> element with a value of 1.0 is interpreted as a Float, while 100 is interpreted as an Integer 100, while 010 is interpreted as Integer 10. What I really want is to get the string value that was actually set.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get the original string value of a <code>&lt;meta-data&gt;</code> element? The best I can do right now is to prepend all values with a symbol string like XXX, which seems to force the value to be parsed as a String.</p>
