You could change the value of the covariates to their means and then use
predict.

Example:

. use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/union.dta
(NLS Women 14-24 in 1968)

. xtlogit union age, i(id) nolog

Random-effects logistic regression              Number of obs      =     26200
Group variable (i): idcode                      Number of groups   =      4434

Random effects u_i ~ Gaussian                   Obs per group: min =         1
                                                               avg =       5.9
                                                               max =        12

                                                Wald chi2(1)       =     26.09
Log likelihood  = -10659.783                    Prob > chi2        =    0.0000

. preserve

. egen mean = mean(age)

. replace age = mean
age was byte now float
(26200 real changes made)

. predict prob, pu0

. tab prob

 Pr(union=1 |

     u_i=0) |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.

Hope this helps,
