If you need to provide an option for the user to update the google services you can do this:

   switch (isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this)) {
        case 2: //out date
            try {
                GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(2, this, 0).show();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            break;

    }

This will prompt an update dialog for the user to update play services
