Unable to instantiate application java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. Didn't find class "Application" on path: DexPathList

After I run gradle clean and build and upload apk on device my app crash on start with following exception. I use Android Studio 1.3.1. 

  java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application my.package.MyApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "my.package.MyApp" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.unated-2/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]

 Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Class not found using the boot class loader; no stack available

I have 2 flavors: production and staging. And I have two different Application classes for each flavor. I read RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application but killing app from recent list does not work. If I change flavor then some times app starts to work. And sometimes if I change flavor back it starts to work (but often not). I can not figure out how to make it work. Very annoying thing, please help!
