Usually used as app banner, to the best of my understanding, not use case just banner like below

Requirements

  • ·         JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha)
  • Dimensions: 1024 w x 500 h



4.Promo Graphic (Optional)
The promo graphic is used for promotions on older versions of the Android OS (earlier than 4.0). This image is not required to submit an update for your store listing. Click here to here from the horse’s mouth

Requirements

  • ·         JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha)
  • ·         Dimensions: 180 px by 120 px

5. TV Banner (Optional) :To publish an Android TV-enabled app, a banner asset is required. When you're creating a banner asset, think of it like your app’s icon on Android TV.
Note: Your app's banner asset will only be displayed on Android TV devices.

Requirements

·         JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha)
·         Dimensions: 320 px by 180 px

6. Promo Video (OPTIONAL): The promo video appears in the first position of your graphic assets on the Google Play web store 

Requirements

Default – English (United States) – en-US
YouTube video
Enter video URL

TIP TO NEWBIES
 For newbies, Don't forget the "package name" of your app OR the ID specified when configuring the config.xml file of your app will be the UNIQUE ID of it on Google Play Store AND that is what will be used to search for it on play store.

Illustration
I made an app named PFS lunchbox but in my config file ,I playfully wrote, id="com.jombapps.shola".

I did ALL I had to do and published . Cool . It is on the play store but if I search "pfs lunchbox"
I hardly see it there 

But if I search with keyword "shola" or "jomb". I see my pfs lunchbox app listed. I hope you get it ? the search uses your id as criteria . I think later it might check app name before displaying results.

Ciao. Dudes !!
