Answer 1

first delete google play services from eclipse and clean project

For google play services first install Google play Services

SDK Manager -> Extras -> Google play Services

after installing go to

File->import->your SDK folder path ->extras->extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib

Make sure gcm.jar is exist on your adt

The key point is that you must reference the library—simply adding a .jar file to your Eclipse project will not work. You must follow the directions for referencing a library, or your app won't be able to access the library's resources, and it won't run properly. If you're using Android Studio, this is the string to add to the dependency section of your application's build.gradle file:

dependencies { compile: "com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.+" }

Answer 3

Add GCM.jar in your project from Properties.
