android-manifest.js can throw null path exception

See original GitHub issue

The problem

When try to run Android test with the APK file whose AndroidManifest.xml does contain any activity information, the app installation to the real device fails with the error Error: packageAndLaunchActivityFromManifest failed. Original error: Path must be a string. Received null.

After investigating android-manifest.js, now I think line 71 can cause the error because AndroidDriver.adb.tmpDir property is not set anywhere and remains null. I think only this line can cause the error like the above, and this error would be resolved passing some appropriate tmpdir from AndroidDriver initialization logic.
