Based on Rahim's code, I add the capability of preventing the user to dismiss the Google Play Services dialog (by hitting the back button) and continue using the app without Google Play Services installed:

private void checkGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
    int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
    if (status != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(status)) {
            Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, 0);
            dialog.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener() {
                @Override
                public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialogInterface) {
                    MainActivity.this.finish();
                }
            });
            dialog.show();
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "This device is not supported.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            finish();
        }
    }
}
