Resources$NotFoundException for XML vector drawable on API 19

Question

I'm trying to load an XML vector drawable with the following code:

int px = Application.get().getResources()
                .getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.bikeshare_small_marker_size);

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(px, px, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

Canvas c = new Canvas(bitmap);
Drawable shape = ContextCompat.getDrawable(Application.get(), R.drawable.bike_marker_small);
shape.setBounds(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
shape.draw(c);

Here is the bike_marker_small.xml file:

<vector android:height="24dp" android:viewportHeight="210.0"
    android:viewportWidth="210.0" android:width="24dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <path android:fillColor="#ffffff"
        android:pathData="M105.03,104.97m-53.84,0a53.84,53.84 117.34,1 1,107.67 0a53.84,53.84 117.34,1 1,-107.67 0"
        android:strokeAlpha="1" android:strokeColor="#3a4677" android:strokeWidth="1.46500003"/>
    <path android:fillAlpha="1" android:fillColor="#3a4677"
        android:pathData="M105.1,104.67m-47.53,0a47.53,47.53 118.07,1 1,95.06 0a47.53,47.53 118.07,1 1,-95.06 0"
        android:strokeAlpha="1" android:strokeColor="#000000" android:strokeWidth="0.26458332"/>
</vector>

On Android 6, 7, and 8 this works fine. However, when I try to run the app on an API 19 (Android 4.4) emulator or device, I get the following:

 android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/bike_marker_small.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f08005f. 
 If the resource you are trying to use is a vector resource, you may be referencing it in an unsupported way. 
 See AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled() for more info.

I have the following in my build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 86
        versionName "2.3.1"

        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
...

Why isn't this working?

Trying creating the drawable shape using VectorDrawableCompat.create() instead of ContextCompat.getDrawable():

Drawable shape = VectorDrawableCompat.create(
    Application.get().getResources(),
    R.drawable.bike_marker_small, 
    Application.get().getTheme()
);
