Do we need to add a meta-data tag in AndroidManifest.xml to use Admob?

In here it is stated that to integrate Admob in our Android App, we must add a meta-data tag in AndroidManifest.xml 

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

However, in two example projects, which can be downloaded from here, both the 2 files AndroidManifest.xml do not include this tag. And when I test my app without this tag, the ad also shows normally. So do we really need this?

The link you provided is to the instructions when integrating Admob-6.4.1.

If you are integrating using Google play Services (which you should be from now on) then you will need to add the meta-data tag to your Android Manifest as described in Integrating Admob with Google Play Services

As per New Google Mobile Ads SDK you have to require meta-data.

Because of in earlier version we are used advertise sdk library so not require.

now admob used play-services lib.
