No, sadly you cannot control the file name in the config.xml, but the file name doesn't matter. In the config.xml, you specify the name of your app as it will appear to the users on their mobiles, and that's what matters.

If you like to give the file a specific name for your own file management (which is what I do too), you'll have to manually rename the file every time you create a new build.
