Is there any AdMob dummy ids for testing purpose? Do I need to register app & get MY_AD_UNIT_ID?

Note:

The NativeExpressAd you'll see looks like a real one, but it's counted as a test ad. You're free to use that ad unit ID for your testing.

by Andrew Brogdon (Google Ads Team in one of his youtube comments)

All test Ads you can find in the actual admob github repository in the res > values > strings.xml

There aren't dummy ID's per se. You need to setup the XML or the JAVA code to get test ads. To get Test Ads during testing, add the following to your XML where you have the AdView declared.

NOTE: I use just the XML code to display Ads in my app.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="bottom|center"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <com.google.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID"
        ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
        ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR, YOUR_DEVICE_ID" >
    </com.google.ads.AdView>
</LinearLayout>

To set the Test Unit (Both the emulator and your devices) from JAVA:

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest();
adRequest.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);            
adRequest.addTestDevice("test");

To get your Device ID, you can use this:

final TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String deviceid = tm.getDeviceId();

From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9681517/450534

EDIT: Missed your second question.

Yes. You will need to register your app in your Ad-Mob account. Without that being registered, you won't be getting your Ad Unit ID and therefore, no Ads in your app either.

UPDATE: Approximately two years after posting this answer, Google added a few dummy ID's to their admob SDK. Please refer to the other better voted answers for the dummy ID's

For RewardedVideo you can use the following one :

private static final String AD_UNIT_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/5224354917";
private static final String APP_ID = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713";

how to use:

MobileAds.initialize(this, APP_ID);

mRewardedVideoAd = MobileAds.getRewardedVideoAdInstance(this);
mRewardedVideoAd.setRewardedVideoAdListener(this);
mRewardedVideoAd.loadAd(AD_UNIT_ID, new AdRequest.Builder().build());

for showing

 if (mRewardedVideoAd.isLoaded()) {
        mRewardedVideoAd.show();
  }

Hope this will help many of us!
