[path_provider_android] MissingPluginException

[Sneglefjes]

Throws exception when trying to run getTemporaryDirectory,
MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method getTemporaryDirectory on channel plugins.flutter.io/path_provider)

https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blame/master/packages/path_provider/path_provider_android/android/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/pathprovider/PathProviderPlugin.java
line 156
String channelName = "plugins.flutter.io/path_provider_android";

• channelName should equal "plugins.flutter.io/path_provider";

This causes the flutter app to throw exception MissingPluginException

Steps to Reproduce

Expected results:
Expecting the code to run without throwing exception

Actual results:
We get an exception of type MissingPluginException

1. Run flutter create bug.
2. Update the files as follows:

pubspec.yaml

# The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to
# pub.dev using `flutter pub publish`. This is preferred for private packages.
publish_to: 'none' # Remove this line if you wish to publish to pub.dev
# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# In Android, build-name is used as versionName while build-number used as versionCode.
# Read more about Android versioning at https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning
# In iOS, build-name is used as CFBundleShortVersionString while build-number used as CFBundleVersion.
