Here is code to show admob in listview without adding it in layout file. Refer to this example http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.in/2012/03/embedding-admob-ads-within-listview-on.html for more details

  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    if ((position % k) == 0) {
      if (convertView instanceof AdView) {
        // Don’t instantiate new AdView, reuse old one
        return convertView;
      } else {
        // Create a new AdView
        AdView adView = new AdView(activity, AdSize.BANNER,
                                   INSERT_ADMOB_ID_HERE);

        // Convert the default layout parameters so that they play nice with
        // ListView.

        float density = activity.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
        int height = Math.round(AdSize.BANNER.getHeight() * density);
        AbsListView.LayoutParams params = new AbsListView.LayoutParams(
            AbsListView.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
            height);
        adView.setLayoutParams(params);

        adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
        return adView;
      }
    } else {
      // Offload displaying other items to the delegate
      return delegate.getView(position - (int) Math.ceil(position / k) - 1,
          convertView, parent);
    }
  }
