Answer 1

I had the exact same problem and resolved by modifying the scope to :

"oauth2:https://www.googleapis.com/auth/[API YOU WANT]"

(the beggining is very important !)

Hope it will help someone :)

The question is why do you need to get a token. As you commented in my question, you should be fine with GoogleAccountCredential object. Once you have the credential object, you can make calls to Google APIs

  credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(this, scopes);
                if (TextUtils.isEmpty(appPreferences.getUserName()))
                {
                        try
                        {

                                startActivityForResult(credential.newChooseAccountIntent(), REQUEST_ACCOUNT_PICKER);
                        }
                        catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)
                        {

                                Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.gps_missing), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                                return;
                        }

                }

    String WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID = "656631023202-9jsg9faqe87n1uo7f5g6iupti1jl2nps.apps.googleusercontent.com";
    String scopes = String.format("audience:server:client_id:" + WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID );

    Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "email ="+email);

    String code = null;
    try {
         code = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(
                 LoginActivity.this,                             // Context context
                 email,     // String accountName
                    scopes
                );
         mGoogleCoordinatetoken = code;
    } catch (IOException transientEx) {
      // network or server error, the call is expected to succeed if you try again later.
      // Don't attempt to call again immediately - the request is likely to
      // fail, you'll hit quotas or back-off.
        Log.e("getAccessToken()", "[ERROR] IOException: " + transientEx);
    } catch (UserRecoverableAuthException e) {
           // Recover
        Log.e("getAccessToken()", "[ERROR] UserRecoverableAuthException: " + e);
        code = null;
    } catch (GoogleAuthException authEx) {
      // Failure. The call is not expected to ever succeed so it should not be
      // retried.
        Log.e("getAccessToken()", "[ERROR] GoogleAuthException: " + authEx);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("getAccessToken()", "[ERROR] Exception: " + e);
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
