Your logcat clearly said

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta- data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4323000 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the element:

Try to add Google play services version using <meta-data> tag under <application> tag in your manifest.xml file like

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

Make your manifest.xml like

....<application>
..............
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Key" />

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

</application>

Add

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="**Replace with your key**" />

in the manifest

This is the correct Android_manifest.xml for displaying maps

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="11"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
    <activity
        android:name="com.example.package.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="**Replace with your key**" />
</application>

Dont forget to add google-play-services_lib
