I want to implement an option in my app by which users could donate some $. (Donations ofcourse, will not be in lieu of additional features)
What is the best way of doing so? Paypal? Google Checkout?
Any examples/ api that I can use to simplify this?

Google Play says you can't (unless you are a validated non-profit charitable organization). However, you can try putting the link to your website into the app, where you have a PayPal donation button (along with other info about the app, of course).
Google Play Is Feeling Charitable Donating is simple. On your Android device either go to play.google.com/donate or open the Play Store app and scroll down until you see the option to donate to the charity of your choice. You can donate using the funding method you have on file.
Click the Put page at the top level radio button. Click the Create page button at the bottom. 10.BE Your new page will now be created and your link, the donation button, will point to it. Check the Open this link in a new window button and click the OK button.
You can use my new library under Apache License 2.0: https://github.com/dschuermann/android-donations-lib
It simplifies the integration of Donations via Google Play Store, PayPal, and Flattr.

"Via the paypal website you can create a link that is specific to your PayPal ID that will allow people who follow it to donate any amount that they'd like to you. All you'd have to do for this to work on android is put a button in your app that when clicked creates an Intent containing this link and start it. That will open up the browser to the correct page that the user can use to make a donation." - Tim's comment on PayPal Donations on Android Apps

I think the best way to do it is using Android's built in in app purchasing system: http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/billing_overview.html
