I know this is probably a dead thread but just in case someone stumbles upon here having an identical problem - your manifest might be missing the following meta information:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Declare it within the <application> element and your code should work. I ran into the same issue following a youtube tutorial that skipped this step and only when carefully going through the original Google tutorial I noticed the missing code.

Anyway, hope this helps someone.

I had a similar error and I think it comes from this point: when I include the Google Play Service API I do not copy it in my workspace, I use the original one !!!

Note: You should be referencing a copy of the library that you copied to your source tree—you should not reference the library from the Android SDK directory.

Check this point.

Answer 4

using both meta data references was resolving the issue in my case:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="yourAPIkeyFromGoogleAPIConsole" />

I spend a lot of time trying to solve this problem and after much reading and trying, I solved by changing the

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity

for this

public class MainActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity

I hope this can help you
