Hi Raman,

From your code snippet, it looks like you are showing the Interstitial Ad right after it finishes loading, which can be described as "unexpected", as mentioned in the notification you received.

mInterstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
  public void onAdLoaded() {
    showInterstitial();
  }
});

The app must explicitly call this method (.show()) at the appropriate time.
For reference, I would like to include the following links from our Help Center in guiding you to choose the proper implementation for your application:

Hi Raman,

To correct your source code, you can remove the call to the showInterstitial() method on the onAdLoaded() listener.
However, I'm afraid I am not able to comment on when to display and show the Interstitial Ad as it is highly dependent on your application. 
You may use the previous resources I linked to guide you to choose the right implementation:
