Answer

I think you should extend the AnalyticsApplication class into your own class, like this:

public class YourApplicationName extends AnalyticsApplication {

     @Override
     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

          setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
          requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
          setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

          //Analitycs
          AnalyticsApplication application = (AnalyticsApplication) getApplication();
          mTracker = application.getDefaultTracker();
          mTracker.setScreenName("Splash");
          mTracker.send(new HitBuilders.ScreenViewBuilder().build());
     }

     // Here you will enable Multidex
     @Override
     protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
          super.attachBaseContext(base);
          MultiDex.install(getBaseContext());
     }

}

After this, you must change your AndroidManifest.xml file to this:

<application
     android:name="path.to.YourApplicationName"
     ...
