Android API level 16 crash

Bug description: Crash on android app lauch on API level 16

To Reproduce:

Add this package to your react-native-project, build apk, run on emulator using API level 16. Expect crash

Expected behavior: since build.gradle specifies minSdk as 16 I expected this lib to work on API level 16 devices

import androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication;

public class MainApplication extends MultiDexApplication implements ReactApplication {

and app/bulid.gradle

defaultConfig {
        dexOptions{
            javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
            incremental true
        }
