If you've made sure you have INTERNET permission, and have correctly generated API key, and have put it in android:apiKey, and the same error still happens, here's one more thing to check: is your application signed with the same certificate that you used for Maps API key?

Android build tools use different certificates for debug builds and for release builds. If you've generated MD5 checksum and API key for release certificate (the one that you use in "Export Android Application" wizard to generate .apk), it won't work in debug builds--and vice versa.

You can find out where your debug keystore is located in Eclipse's Preferences > Android > Build page. You can generate MD5 checksum and API key for it the same way as for your release certificate. Default password for debug keystore is "android".

Here's official docs about debug keystore
