Android adMob Displaying in the Middle of Screen

I am trying to display an adMob Ad Banner a the top of the screen. However, as seen below, it is displaying in the middle. Anyone know how I can fix this?

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    ndroid:id="@+id/linearLayout"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg" >

    <LinearLayout 
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:paddingTop="30dip"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center" >

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/mnwvbutton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="15dip"
            android:background="@drawable/mnwvicon" />

        <ImageButton
            android:id="@+id/reportsbutton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/reportsicon" />

    </LinearLayout>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/mnwvshowbutton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/showicon"
        android:paddingTop="30dip" />

</LinearLayout>

This is where I add the AdView the my LinearLayout in my code:

    // Admob Banner ***********
    layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
    adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "a14ed285a63276d");
    layout.addView(adView);
    adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());   
    // *************************

Here is what appears on my screen:

I suggest you to use relativ layout. In the following layout, based on yours, the ad layout has for id "adLayout":

<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    ndroid:id="@+id/linearLayout"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg" >

    <LinearLayout 
        android:id="@+id/adLayout"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_below="@id/adLayout"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:paddingTop="30dip"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
  [...]

The linearLayout you're adding to is the parent element; the whole screen. Try adding a child linear layout to it (another linear layout completely contained within the main one) and set android:gravity="bottom".

Here's an example without the buttons.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg" >

    <LinearLayout 
        android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="bottom" >

</LinearLayout>

Or relative parent (The styles include just basic sizing. Parent fills screen, child wraps ad.):

<RelativeLayout 
style="@style/FPFP">
<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/ads"
    style="@style/WCWC"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
