Not completely necessary, in the last update Google decided that the programmers need use more the Fragments
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidFragments/article.html

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_fragments.htm

This is because in this moment exists multiple devices with differents resolutions an screen sizes, and programing using just activitys is not a best practices, actually the fragments is the best way to programming for multiple devices.

Since most people are using Fragments these days, the new ADT update provides templates to avoid having to write all that code yourself. fragment_main.xml is the layout file that corresponds to the Fragment created by the template. You can avoid creating the Fragment if you click on Blank Activity on the new project wizard when creating the project.
