Answer 1

Have you tried following the instructions in the log to add your app id in your AndroidManifest.xml? I noticed that the second link does not seem to work; you may have to update to the latest google-mobile-ads sdk (18.3.0).

You can find the AndroidManifest app id setup guide here following the first link.

Answer 2

you need to initialize the Admob in your application level or in your activity so you need to add this line after onCreate.

String AdmobID ="ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713";    
MobileAds.initialize(this, AdmobID);

and don't forget to replace the AdmobId with yours.
