React-native-push-notification: Build fails on Android 4.4.2 [email protected]

[DanDance]

First of all, thank you for this plugin!

I've installed 2.1.1 plugin version. In componentDidMount I configure plugin. Application crashed after launch. Commenting configure method prevented from crashing.
Then I've updated Google Play Services and Build Tools to latest. Build failed with this:

• Plugin version: 2.1.1
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 4.4.2

• React Native version: 0.33.0
  

  Plugin configuration options:

    console.log( 'TOKEN:', token );
  },
  onNotification: function(notification) {
    console.log( 'NOTIFICATION:', notification );
  },)
  senderID: "MY_ID",
  requestPermissions: true,
});

Plugins in package.json

"react-native-auto-updater": "^0.2.5",
"react-native-background-timer": "^0.1.2",
"react-native-idle-timer": "^2.1.0",

"react-native-side-menu": "^0.19.0",
"react-native-webview-bridge": "git+https://github.com/alinz/react-native-webview-bridge.git",

I assume that problem caused by Google Play Services, but don't know what exactly it is.

Fixed
compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.4.0') {
force = true;
}

For me, I just had to upgrade gradle. Maybe a newer version of gradle handles these conflicts better.
