Name of affected component: Mobile Tracking

Name of related library and version, if applicable (e.g. Android, iOS,
Snippets, etc.): Android

Issue summary:
I'm setting the dispatch interval to only 1 second so I can get it in the 
real-time analytics dashboard. However, it's taking exactly 3 minutes before it 
shows up in real-time. In iOS, it shows up right away in real-time. 

Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Add GA tracking code to an Android app
2. Set the local dispatch interval to 1 minute
3. Load up the GA real-time dashboard

Expected output:
Data should show up right away or within a minute in the real-time analytics 
dashboard.

Actual results:
Data takes 3 minutes before showing up.

I have experimented the same issue on Android.

In my case I have set the local dispatch interval to 5 seconds with the 
following results:
- In Android it takes around 2 minutes to show up the data in the GA real-time 
dashboard.
- In iOS it takes around 5 seconds.

If you use v4 sdk and play services are installed it will ignore requests to 
dispatch and the dispatch interval setting.   This sucks a lot...
