Check if Google Play Services are availble in Xamarin

This is actually pretty easy. Make sure you have Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Gcm installed in your project.  Then use the following code:

	using System;
	using Android.Content;
	using Android.Gms.Common;
	public static class GoogleServices
	{
	private static Context _context;
	public static void Init(Context context)
	{
	_context = context;
	}
	public static bool IsGoogleServicesAvailable()
	{
	Ensure.Condition(_context != null, () => { throw new Exception("Make sure you have called GoogleServices.Init in MainActivity"); });
	var resultCode = GoogleApiAvailability.Instance.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable(_context);
	return resultCode == ConnectionResult.Success;
	}
	}

Remember to call GoogleServices.Init(this) in your MainActivity after Forms.Init(this, bundle).
