Description

Issue Description

getapplicationcontext() method is present in android native code to get application context. This is the code that needs to be executed in app.js 
var localytics = require('com.localytics.android.Localytics');
localytics.autoIntegrate(application context);
Customer is not able to get current application context. He tried lot of things. 
var context = require("android.context.Context");
var appContext = context.getApplicationContext();
This one throwing error stating could not find getapplicationContext method. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getApplicationContext()

    The above code only requires the class and tries to call a method on that, which will never work, because it isn't an instance, just a class. [~cwilliams] may be able to help where to call the getApplicationContext from. Maybe this *could* work: 
       var activity = new Activity(Titanium.App.Android.getTopActivity());
   var appContext = activity.getApplicationContext();
    Because the android.app.Activity class indirectly inherits from the android.content.Context class. Otherwise, and I'm not sure if that's possible so far, you could try to require org.appcelerator.titanium.TiApplication (the internal classes) to call TiApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext(). But I think those classes are not generated so far.
