And my code is

MainActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                .getMap();
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.nuappz.gotcha"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >`

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="12"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
    <permission
        android:name="com.nuappz.gotcha.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.nuappz.gotcha.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

        <activity
            android:name="com.nuappz.gotcha.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

What is the problem here.

activity_main.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

There's more stacktrace in logcat. Especially the "caused by" exception below the one you posted is interesting. — laalto, Jan 20 '14 at 16:59

There should be XML in the MainActivity.xml. The exception already says that it couldn't use the Layout:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class fragment

Here your MainActivity must extends FragmentActivity

So Change

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity{
}

The exception is quite self-explanatory when you read it:

A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

So, add the following to your manifest application element:

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

Actually the problem is in the MainActivity.java file.
The MainActivity must extends to the FragmentActivity not Activity.
Because i am displaying map by the Fragment.

This is the particular problem i have faced few days ago .The problem is you are using the SHA1 KEY ,that is not meant for debugging,hence i suggest you not to get the key while exporting .
