Apart from the credentials being correctly added to your AndroidManifest.xml file, you also need to ensure that the application package name matches exactly (both in the manifest and the application gradle file).

build.gradle (app):

android {
    ...

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "PACKAGE NAME"
    ...
    }
    ...
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
              package="PACKAGE NAME">
...
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.here.android.maps.appid"
        android:value="APP ID" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.here.android.maps.apptoken"
        android:value="APP CODE" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.here.android.maps.license.key"
        android:value="LICENSE KEY" />
