Answer 1

Move the attribute

android:name="com.android.app.MyApplication"

to the first application element in the manifest and delete the second application element.

Btw. is your MyApplication class really in the package com.android.app?

EDIT: you use a different package, so the line should be

android:name="com.example.multitabcheckboxselection.MyApplication"

EDIT2+3: you have put it as an activity now. remove the activity, the attribute must go into the application tag.
