title: Google Maps Android API v2: GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException not thrown anymore
body: <p>After updating Google Play Services to version 18, seems that GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException can't be used anymore. This piece of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
      MapsInitializer.initialize(ctx);
  } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>generates this error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Unreachable catch block for GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException.
    This exception is never thrown from the try statement body</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I achieve the same result now? 
  Thanks</p>
