Answer 1

You need to add the following in your manifest:

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

EDIT:

This information can be found in the logcat error msg as well as on Setting Up Google Play Services (Thanks Brais Gabin)

Answer 2

I imported my existing project from Eclipse to Android Studio, In Eclipse project Integers.xml was containing hardcoded value as following

<integer name="google_play_services_version">5089000</integer>

causing version conflict with latest version of Play Services being built by Android Studio. after removing this line from Integers.xml it started working for me.
