Move to Gradle dependencies

[nolith]

I propose that you move to Gradle based dependency rather than a dependent
plugin. When you link in the other plugin it may cause multiple dexing issues
with other plugins.

I agree, <framework /> is the way to go. However, to prevent Play Services 9.x to break the plugin the lib version should be set to 8.+.

What's going on here guys? Our project is experiencing serious pain because of the inability to have phonegap-plugin-push and this analytics plugin installed at the same time. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phonegap/u_KG7_M4IJg for my discussion and the phonegap-plugin-push author's feedback.

@alexanderwallin if you use cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview, like me, you get error when build APK, otherwise 429adea fix problem.

I think d9dba33 a better solution, because it's work always.

Please, could you fix it with the newest HEAD?
As there has been some work after your commit, it's not possible to merge it.
Thanks!
