For those that are coming into this, I figured out why this was happening. For me it was that I was compiling the Google Analytics V2 jar as well as the full play services. Google allows you to break down what play services you really need for you app and compile those individual items. Check them out here. I excluded the Google Play Analytics which is on V4 right now and it worked
