This change is more specific & accurate for this library, as we only require GCM. Else, a user is required to install more packages than needed from 'Extras' in Android packages just to compile.
This can also mislead some users (including me previously) to input 'multidex true' in their build.gradle which is discouraged, and also causes Android versions under 5.0 to crash upon boot.
