You can create an object of AdView and add to frame layout like,

AdView mAdView = new AdView(context);
mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
mAdView.setAdUnitId(AD_UNIT_ID);
FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.adView);
frameLayout.addView(mAdView);
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

Hope this help!

Add this in your Activity

//Add this in OnCreate of Activity to initialize the ad
MobileAds.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "< your-ad-unit-Id >");

//Add this wherever your code needs to add the ad

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

//Additionally to adjust the position to Bottom
layout.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);

// Create a banner ad
mAdView = new AdView(this);
mAdView.setAdSize(AdSize.SMART_BANNER);
mAdView.setAdUnitId("<your-ad-unit-Id>");

// Create an ad request.
AdRequest.Builder adRequestBuilder = new AdRequest.Builder();

// Optionally populate the ad request builder.
adRequestBuilder.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR);

// Add the AdView to the view hierarchy.
layout.addView(mAdView);

// Start loading the ad.
mAdView.loadAd(adRequestBuilder.build());

setContentView(layout);

Then check if you have given the permissions in Manifest

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

Add meta data below inside < application > in Manifest

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

And finally check if you have added required dependency to compile in app gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'
