I have a 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback and lately if I have my car in drive but keep it idle, it starts to shake and I can hear clicking. What do you guys think is wrong? Its not a violent shake, but it's enough to really bother me.

is your AC cycling? This causes a clicking noise and can affect your idle. Other then that, possibly something in the throttle body assembly. If not for the clicking I would think a cylinder missfire would cause a shaking at idle.

If it happens in drive but not in neutral it's most likely a misfire, happened a lot in my Maxima. Take a look at the spark plugs. Not sure about the clicking but this can be a good start.

is this what happens

no vibration in neutral. RPM - 700-800 rpm.
some vibration/noise in D when stopped, RPM is little lower than neutral.
vibration/noise goes away when the car starts driving.

If that happens, then the vibration/shaking nosie is due to low rpms which shake the heat shield under the bonnet.

My V does this alot.... does anybody know what is going on?

Edit: my AC is not cycling. The V does this very often in warm temps, but also did it during the winter too.

AC compressor cycles with the heat on as well if it's set in the defrost position.

the contact of the engine with the body of the car under the battery my be worn out and cause this problem

Very good call on this. Could be a motor or transmission mount.

I've had the hood vibrate when in drive with the foot on the brake before moving. You can turn the rubber knobs ( near the radiator ) to make the hood touch them or add round felt stick on shim that you use on the bottom of a chair. It worked for me. ( if that is where the vibration is coming from)
