The best I could find was https://stackoverflow.com/a/30689979/895245:

1. copy paste android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib directory in the project directory
2. cd into it and run android update project -p . -t android-22
3. add to your build.xml.

You can install extras with the android GUI tool, or with this CLI method: Downloading the Android support library from command line

If you just copy paste the .jar in /extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/libs/google-play-services.jar under the libs/ directory of the project, it compiles but breaks at runtime because of the required res/values/version.xml which is not included in the .jar.
