Changing from Test ad ID to real value for AdMob through

I am developing an Android application and have integrated AdMob through Firebase as described on

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admob/android/quick-start and https://developers.google.com/admob/android/banner

Now, using their test ad id such as

adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111");

Everything works fine, and I can see their dummy-content. However, I need to change this before building final apk before release. But my question is, and I've tried to find the answer in both firebase docs and adword docs, can I use the app myself, and how can I make sure the content is real ad content (starting the app myself) without being afraid to get banned from the ad system.

If you run it on Emulator, add emulator as test device 

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
.addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR) 
.build();

Elsewere if you run it on real device, add it as a test device like this :

 .addTestDevice(“YOUR DEVICE ID”)

To get your device ID, run your app on a real device and when AdRequest is built, go to logcat and filter by AdRequest, you will say something like

this I/Ads(....): To get test ads on this device, call adRequest.addTestDevice("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");"

Then copy and past the code to add it to your adrequest and it will be done
