        public void setDialog(Dialog dialog) {
            mDialog = dialog;
        }

        @Override
        public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            return mDialog;
        }

        @Override
        public void onDestroy() {
            mDialog = null;
            super.onDestroy();
        }
    }
}

Calling a method of GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(), you can get Result code.If Result code is error, you can get a Dialog Object from calling method GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog().You must use a DialogFragment to show a dialog.

If User close a dialog, onActivityResult is called with Result Code.

    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (requestCode == CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST) {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                // retry process
            }
        }
    }
