I solve this issue by adding this code in module app build.gradle file.

 android {
        packagingOptions{
            exclude 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libcardioRecognizer.so'
            exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libcardioRecognizer_tegra2.so'
            exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libopencv_core.so'
            exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libopencv_imgproc.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libcardioRecognizer.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libcardioRecognizer_tegra2.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libopencv_core.so'
            exclude 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libopencv_imgproc.so'
            exclude 'lib/mips/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86/libcardioRecognizer.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86/libcardioRecognizer_tegra2.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86/libopencv_core.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86/libopencv_imgproc.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86_64/libcardioDecider.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86_64/libcardioRecognizer.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86_64/libcardioRecognizer_tegra2.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86_64/libopencv_core.so'
            exclude 'lib/x86_64/libopencv_imgproc.so'
        }
    }

           dependencies {
            compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
            compile 'com.paypal.sdk:paypal-android-sdk:2.14.1'
        }
