How to disable Firebase completely? warnings and errors shown in log

Question

I'm disabling analytics on my project deleting the .json file and deleting this from app gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

And also deleting all the push or analytics init calls.

Also, I'm adding this on manifest:

<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true"/>

Even I deleted the two notifications services from the manifst (MESSAGING_EVENT and INSTANCE_ID_EVENT)

But after doing that, I'm getting this error warning every time I open a section:

02-26 13:05:15.687 10605-10605/? I/FirebaseInitProvider: FirebaseApp initialization unsuccessful
02-26 13:05:20.574 10605-10743/? I/FA: To enable faster debug mode event logging run:
                                         adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app com.mypackage.myapp
02-26 13:05:20.578 10605-10743/? E/FA: Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled.

What more should I do to completely disable Firebase without removing the Gradle compile files?

keep this in your gradle file `apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'` — Peter Haddad, Feb 26 '18 at 12:32
if i keep it then the compilation crashes because it tryes to find the .json file — NullPointerException, Feb 26 '18 at 12:39
what you did is written here: https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/disable-analytics#temporarily_disable_collection_1, maybe clean and rebuild — Peter Haddad, Feb 26 '18 at 12:47

you can disable the analytics using

<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled" android:value="false" />

or

FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(activity).setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false);

what? i want to disable it by code, not by console, i dont understand you – NullPointerException Feb 26 '18 at 12:25
redownload the json file you deleted and add the dependency again..and then write FirebaseAnalytics.getInstance(activity).setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false); in your launcher activity – Harsh Agrawal Feb 26 '18 at 12:42
what? the json file does not exist, the app doesn't have firebase anymore – NullPointerException Feb 26 '18 at 12:45
how can I redownload something which doesn't exists? – NullPointerException Feb 26 '18 at 12:46
you can always download the latest json file from firebase console..without json file you can't use firebase services – Harsh Agrawal Feb 26 '18 at 12:48
