Android Studio – A required meta data tag in your android manifest does not exist. App crash at MobileAds.initialize();

Getting below issue when trying to initialize admob sdk in my app in application instance. happening when we add,

android:name=".MyApplication" in AndroidManifest.xml <application tag

Exception at, MobileAds.initialize( this, new OnInitializationCompleteListener() { @Override public void onInitializationComplete( @NonNull InitializationStatus initializationStatus) {} });

Note: No issues found if i initialize the same in activity level.

'W/System.err: com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesMissingManifestValueException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />'

E/MetadataValueReader: This should never happen.

    Note that you should never store mutable shared data inside the Application object since that data might disappear or become invalid at any time. Instead, store any mutable shared data using persistence strategies such as files, SharedPreferences or SQLite.

    Should not create singleton instance inside Application class.
