Read through this article, in particular the section on only including
portions of Google Play Services in your app:

2014-03-25 Thread Jeff Campbell
The latest version and the Google Play Services (4.3) now adds about 2,500 
more methods (since 4.2)!!  (Adding Google Play Services to your project 
will add about 14,000 methods to your app) seems to be getting worse 
and worse!

2014-02-08 Thread b0b
Yes, the monolithic structure of the Play Service jar sucks for the reasons 
you mention.
However you can generate a new jar from it with jarjar, extracting only the 
classes you need and their dependencies.
I had to do it for a project that otherwise would hit the 64K dex limit.
