java - Problems implementing the new GCM Client for Android

Question

I'm trying to implement the new GCM Client on Android following the guidelines from Google (https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/client). I'm receiving slightly different errors for two different devices. I noticed that I receive NoSuchMethodError for method getNoBackupFilesDir for both the devices.
This is the logcat for an Android 4.2.2:

At line 113 I have this:

InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(applicationContext);

Used here:

// AsyncTask to register Device in GCM Server
private void registerInBackground() {
    new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
            String msg = "";

            InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(applicationContext);
            try {
                regId = instanceID.getToken(GCM_SENDER_ID,
                        GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            return msg;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String msg) {
            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(regId)) {

                Toast.makeText(
                        applicationContext,
                        "Registered with GCM Server successfully.

"
                                + msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                Log.e(TAG, "Registered with GCM Server successfully. RegID: " + regId);

            } else { 
                Toast.makeText(
                        applicationContext,
                        "Reg ID Creation Failed.

Either you haven't enabled Internet or GCM server is busy right now. "
                        + "Make sure you enabled Internet and try registering again after some time."
                                + msg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Log.e(TAG, "Reg ID Creation Failed!!!");
            }
        }
    }.execute(null, null, null);
}

I correctly imported the Google Play Services library as described in the documentation.(https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup)

Has anyone encountered this errors? How can I resolve this?

Development environment used: Eclipse Kepler SR2 with ADT
