Getting message on AVD "This app won't work unless you update Google play services"

Question

I want to add google map in my android app. After following all the steps and removing exceptions such as "inflating class fragment", my AVD is now showing This app won't work unless you update Google play services. I tried to update Google play services through the following steps

Right click on Project > Android Tools > Add Support Library

But got 2 error messages.

}

Please give me any suggestion.

Latest versions of Google Maps can't be run in emulator as it doesn't have Google Play services installed. — Spring Breaker, Aug 08 '13 at 05:41
@user2012, But Google map is available as a separate application in my emulator. — maria, Aug 08 '13 at 06:12
:To run v2 Map, **Google Play Services** must be installed not Google Map. — Spring Breaker, Aug 08 '13 at 06:20

Google Android Map Api v2 doc says,you can't run google maps v2 on Android emulator. You must use a device for your tests. But some people suggest it can be done by installing the required services like Google Play Services in the emulator. See the various answers of the following post, you will get some clue.
