Fatal Exception: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {.../com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity}

Hi, after upgrade to 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:20.2.0', there are many crashes every day, but not on all devices, and I can’t reproduce it.

This is the stack trace from firebase:

Fatal Exception: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {.../com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

       at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult(Instrumentation.java:2071)

       at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java:1729)

       at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:5430)

       at com.google.android.gms.internal.ads.zzbof.show(zzbof.java:16)

BTW, I've already included  -keep class com.google.android.gms.ads.** { *; } in the proguard-rules file, and included com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity in the AndroidManifest.xml.

Please try to fix it, thanks!
