I don't think any minimum version is mentioned in the Android Documents https://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html

But if you want to handle Errors while connecting to the GoogleApiClient you should implement GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/common/api/GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener

And call this code by passing error result code and implement onActivityResult to handle the result:

GooglePlayServicesUtil.showErrorDialogFragment(resultCode,this,CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST);

Note: I haven't implemented it, but that is how it is done.
