You need to add the below to manifest file
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Place this at the end of your manifest, after your Map API key meta-data tag.
Check out HERE
It's a new requirement added from the last revision 13 update to google-play-services.
You need to add the following in your manifest
...
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
This information can be found in the logcat error msg.
And also on google play services website

I am not getting where I am getting wrong or missing anything and
how to remove please help me in solving this issue.
The Log say you:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: API key not found. Check that <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="your API key"/> is in the <application> element of AndroidManifest.xml
So be sure that you added it in AndroidManifest.xml like in the guide:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="API_KEY"/>
In your manifest file error cause this line
<!-- Goolge Maps API Key -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="my api key" />
In value of API key you must add your own API key.
See This link for generate API key
Clearly from your logcat, you have just copy pasted the manifest.xml file. You have to enter your key instead of your API key
Generate your key from google console. And use it in manifest.xml
You will need two metadata for version2 of googlemap
One with api key and another with google service
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version"
So you should simply copy paste the line. And only try to under stand later.
:-)
Edited:
Change the package name to yours (not of androidhive :-)) Change the line in permission
<permission
android:name="info.androidhive.googlemapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
To:
<permission
android:name="com.example.careandcure.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Also why are you using package name of info.androidhive.googlemapsv2 in uses-permission. Change it to your own package name i.e. com.example.careandcure . Hope it's finally your solution.
I have did all steps which is give at google but lastly it give's this

For eclipse add this :
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
If you are using Android Studio(latest version) with gradle0.7+ then add this line:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Your Key" />
Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest
Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the
following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of
Google Play services that the app was compiled with.
You just need to add <meta-data> under <application> tag into your AndroidManifest.xml
....<application>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>

Your Java code seems to be correct. Try to remove the implements onClickListener and onClick method just for a try. Your manifest needs some changing. I suggest adding these elements:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<permission
android:name="com.nurakanbpo.mygenie.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.nurakanbpo.mygenie.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
Your minSdkVersion is 13 for which you dont need supportmapfragment. You can use mapfragment.
Also since revision 13 of google play services was released you need to add this element to your you application tag:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />

I think the Problem is how I include the GooGlePlayService... I´ve tried to add as module, as libary as External Libary but I don't know how to include and to use it right... :(

****EDIT2**
Problem solved by using this: java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: com.google.android.gms.R$styleable**
The only thing I find missing in your RecorderMap.java file is that you haven't imported the SupportFragment class. So add this line to it
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
If that doesn't work, then check out the following.
From what you are saying, it means you have already installed the google play services. If not, then try installing it using this link http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
After that, referencing the google play services library should be as easy as editing your build.gradle file. The current version of android studio makes this possible. Under dependencies in your build.gradle file, add the following code
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36'
You seem to have your API key intact.
Finally, remember you need to test your app on an actual android device and not an emulator. The android API version 2 is not yet able to display maps on emulators.
I think this should be okay for your app to work.
I have just implemented a map in the application, and it runs flawlessly in a Galaxy S3. Testing my app with an old phone HTC Sense with API8 the app throws a inflator problem. I think it may be related to either the OS or OGL2. isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) returns a correct value. Help me here, please:
Activity.java
public class MyActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.initializeInterface();
}
private void initializeInterface() {
final int available = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}

It has to do with the fact that you are trying to use native API Level 11 fragments on an API Level 8 device. Switch to FragmentActivity and SupportMapFragment if you wish to have your code work on earlier versions than Android 3.0.
I solved this problem by adding the v13 libraries from /extras/android/compatibility/v13 and changing my Activity to FragmentActivity and MapFragment to SupportMapFragment.
for me help app project -> right click -> properties -> android -> project build target -> and chack earlier android release. (with google api)
if you dont have, download one by SDK manager
