Answer 1

Add a bottom Margin of 55dp which is the size of Admob Banners

This line in either the floating button or enclosing layout.

android:layout_marginBottom="55dp

Answer 2

THESE TWO LINES ARE IMPORTANT.

android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"

You should use RelativeLayout, and as we know, later children in a RelativeLayout tend to float over earlier children in a RelativeLayout.

So, to have a FAB float over of any layout, make sure that the FAB is defined after all views (at the end of the XML layout).

If you use android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin" the best way to manipulate FAB is set dependencies between views, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_above="@id/adLayoutId"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/adLayoutId"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="@android:color/black"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@id/adLayoutId"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
        android:src="@drawable/fav"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Floating action button always will be above the ad linear layout, and independent from ad layout size. Hope it helps.
