For reference, to anyone who visits this question, make sure you do all 3 steps below:

Add your API key to your app manifest

<application>

 <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="YOUR_API_KEY"/>
</application>

Then include in your manifest as @Alex Baker suggested

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

Answer 2

I had the same issue because I was missing the permission that allows the API to access Google web-based services

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
