ClassNotFoundException com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurement

I updated google play services to 11.0.4 in my android app and started getting this warning even though I am NOT integrated with firebase:

W/Ads: Invoke Firebase method getInstance error.
 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurement"

Is there something I need to disable in my code?

MobileAds.initialize(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.banner_ad_app_id));
    AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
    AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
    mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
