1st thing I did was downloaded "google Play Services for Froyo" from my eclipse android sdk manager. Than I added "google-play-services.jar" in to "Referenced Libraries" in eclipse project.
#------------------------------------------------------
# 2nd thing I did was to add ad on my layout xml file
# res > layout > mainXmlFile
#-------------------------------------------------------
<com.google.ads.AdView
xmlns:ads = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/com.google.ads"
android:id = "@+id/adView"
android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
ads:adUnitId = "ci-apa-pab-44_myKey"
ads:adSize = "BANNER"
ads:testDevices = "TEST_EMULATOR, "
ads:loadAdOnCreate = "true" />
#------------------------------------------
# Lastly I add permission in manifest file
#AndroidManifest
#-------------------------------------------
.......
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
</manifest>
