As nobody has replied with explanation, I'm going to consider this one solved. I just manually reload whole layout onAdLoad event. Anyway, this is just functional solution, it does not explain why it happens with Google Play Services AdMob.

adMobView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {

    @Override
    public void onAdLoaded() {
        super.onAdLoaded();

        MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                layout.requestLayout();
            }
        });
    }

});

Also, as mentioned by user3263204, you can try this

adMobView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);

to solve your problem.
