There are several entries in addition to the standard Android package information that must be present in your manifest for your theme to behave as expected. All of the following should be inside the main <manifest></manifest> tags.

<uses-feature android:required="true"
    android:name="org.cyanogenmod.theme" />

This entry indicates that the package should only be installable on devices that support the CM Theme Engine.

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

The CM Theme Engine is only available in versions of CyanogenMod that use SDK v19 and above. This entry will prevent your package from asking for additional unneccesary permissions.

<application android:hasCode="false"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="Your Theme Name" />

This entry will place an item in the Installed Apps list on Android, and sets the app icon to be used (from res/drawable).

<meta-data android:name="org.cyanogenmod.theme.name"
    android:value="Theme Name" />

<meta-data android:name="org.cyanogenmod.theme.author"
    android:value="Your Name" />

These two entries are required for the Theme Engine to recognize your APK as a theme.

Theme assets should be placed into the directory assets/ with the following structure:
