android : The minimum google play service version for mobile vision ocr?

Question

I am developing an application and using Mobile Vision Api for text recognizing.I noticed that its not working in some devices.After searched I understand that one reason is because of google play service version that is installed on user device.So I know that I can get the version that is installed on user device like this :

int v = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.google.android.gms", 0 ).versionCode;

but what is the minimum version that i have to check on user device to notice to the user to update the google play service on device(if necessary)?

I think this question is related to your post here .

There seems to be no minimum GPS version specified from the Overview of Google Play Services however it is recommended you update to the lastest as:

Google Play services gives you the freedom to use the newest APIs for popular Google services without worrying about device support. Updates to Google Play services are distributed automatically by the Google Play Store and new versions of the client library are delivered through the Android SDK Manager. This makes it easy for you to focus on what's important: your users' experience.
