I got an exception 

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service ...
java.lang.SecurityException: Requires ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION secure setting

However I have in Manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

What can be wrong ?

The permission needs to be outside the <application> element.

Also, you will need to enable Mock Locations from Settings -> Applications -> Development (Nexus S, may vary on other devices).
