Android - App crashes on Pre-Lollipop devices

My app is running well on Lollipop devices but it keep crashing on prior to version Lollipop.
I have simply implemented a banner add in my application with the following code through google documention

    // Request for Ads
           AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()


                  // Add a test device to show Test Ads
                 .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
                 .build();

         // Load ads into Banner Ads
         mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

using

    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

manifest

               android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
             android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />


                      android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
          android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden
   |orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize" />

Error

Please help me out to get out from this problem.

Answer

After expanding more than a hour on problem, I found that I have to do some modification in MyApplication Class like this:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        // register with Active Android

        ActiveAndroid.initialize(this);
    }

    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
}

I have overriden the attachbaseContext method and all works fine now.
