Having trouble creating a page on plugin activation

1. Make sure that page ‘Checklists’ is not already created.
   Try the code.

   include('add-acf.php');
   
   
   if(!class_exists('TW_Contact')) {
       class TW_Contact {
   
   
           public function __construct() {         
               add_filter( 'single_template', array($this, 'tw_single_template') );            
               add_shortcode( 'tw_contact', array($this, 'tw_contact_shortcode') );
   
               $this->bootstrap();
   
               //echo 'construct';
               //exit;
           }
   
   
           /**
            * Setup the environment for the plugin
            */
           public function bootstrap() {
   
               //echo 'bootstrap';
               //exit;
   
               register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this, 'activate' ) );
               register_activation_hook( __FILE__,  array( $this,'my_plugin_install_function');
               add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'register_custom_fields' ) );
               add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'tw_enqueue_scripts') );
           }
   
   
           /**
            * Do some stuff upon activation
            */
           public function activate() {
               $this->register_custom_fields();
               $this->tw_enqueue_scripts();
   
               echo 'before';
   
               // Flush rewrite rules so that users can access custom post types on the front-end right away
               flush_rewrite_rules();
   
               echo 'after';
           }
   
           function my_plugin_install_function() {
               //post status and options
               $post = array(
                     'comment_status' => 'closed',
                     'ping_status' =>  'closed' ,
                     'post_author' => 1,
                     'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
                     'post_name' => 'Checklists',
                     'post_status' => 'publish' ,
                     'post_title' => 'Checklists',
                     'post_type' => 'page',
               );  
               wp_insert_post( $post );
           }   
   
       }
   }
   

2. if(!class_exists('TW_Contact')) {
       class TW_Contact {
   
   
           public function __construct() {         
             //  add_filter( 'single_template', array($this, 'tw_single_template') );            
             //  add_shortcode( 'tw_contact', array($this, 'tw_contact_shortcode') );
   
               $this->bootstrap();
   
               //echo 'construct';
               //exit;
           }
   
   
           /**
            * Setup the environment for the plugin
            */
           public function bootstrap() {
   
               //echo 'bootstrap';
               //exit;
   
             //  register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this, 'activate' ) );
               register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this, 'my_plugin_install_function' ) );
              // add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'register_custom_fields' ) );
             //   add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'tw_enqueue_scripts') );
           }
   
   
           /**
            * Do some stuff upon activation
            */
           public function activate() {
           //    $this->register_custom_fields();
               $this->tw_enqueue_scripts();
   
              // echo 'before';
   
               // Flush rewrite rules so that users can access custom post types on the front-end right away
              // flush_rewrite_rules();
   
              // echo 'after';
           }
   
           function my_plugin_install_function() {
               //post status and options
               $post = array(
                     'comment_status' => 'closed',
                     'ping_status' =>  'closed' ,
                     'post_author' => 1,
                     'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
                     'post_name' => 'Checklists',
                     'post_status' => 'publish' ,
                     'post_title' => 'Checklists',
                     'post_type' => 'post',
               );  
               wp_insert_post( $post );
           }   
   
       }
   
      global $obj;
      $obj = new TW_Contact();
   
   }
   

   This code will work .you should initialize object . I had commented some unwanted code .Hope this will work.

3. It all came down to the way I was calling the function, should be:

           register_activation_hook( MYPLUGIN_FILE, array( $this, 'plugin_activated' ) );
           register_deactivation_hook( MYPLUGIN_FILE, array($this, 'plugin_deactivated' ));
