Make sure you have added play identity services, then you can get advertising id by running a thread like this:

Thread thread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                AdvertisingIdClient.Info adInfo = AdvertisingIdClient.getAdvertisingIdInfo(getApplicationContext());
                String advertisingId = adInfo != null ? adInfo.getId() : null;
            } catch (IOException | GooglePlayServicesRepairableException | GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException exception) {
                exception.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    };

    // call thread start for background process
    thread.start();
