Google play services problems in emulator [duplicate]

For the emulator I have below, I am getting the error message that "Google Play Services not installed on the device".
As per the developer site, it says that 'The Android emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
Not able to understand if the emulator is running 4.4.2 then why is google play services not present?
Some related threads, but no resolution. (adding these just to point out this issue is not a duplicate):

Quoting docs
If you want to test your app on the emulator, expand the directory for
Android 4.2.2 (API 17) or a higher version, select Google APIs, and
install it. Then create a new AVD with Google APIs as the platform
target.
Needs Emulator of Google API"S
See the target in the snap

I prefer testing on a real device which has google play services installed

You will not able to test the app using the Google-Play-Service library in emulator. In order to test that app in emulator you need to install some system framework in your emulator to make it work.

Refer the above answer to install Google play service on your emulator.

If you happen to not have the image, download it via the SDK manager:

If you're using Xamarin, I found a guide on their official forum explaining how to do this:
Download the package from the internet. There are many sources for this, one possible source is the CyanogenMod web site.
Start up the Android Player and unlock it.
Drag and drop the zip file that you downloaded onto the Android Player.
Restart the Android Player.
Hereafter, you might also need to update the Google Play Services from the Google Play Store.
Hope this helps for anyone else who has troubles finding the documentation.

Setp 1 :
Download the following apk files.
1)com.google.android.gms.apk (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934534438)
2)com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527945795)
Step 2 : Create a new AVD without the google API's
Step 3 : Run the AVD (Start the emulator)
Step 4 : Install the downloaded apks using adb .
1)adb install com.google.android.gms-6.7.76_\(1745988-038\)-6776038-minAPI9.apk
2)adb install com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk
adb come up with android sdks/studio
Step 5 : Create the application in google developer console
Step 6 : Configure the api key in your Androidmanifest.xml and google api version.
Note :
In step1 you need to download the apk based on your Android API level(..18,19,21..) and google play services version (5,5.1,6,6.5......)
This will work 100%.

google play service is just a library to create application but in order to use application that use google play service library , you need to install google play in your emulator.and for that it need the unique device id. and device id is only on the real device not have on emulator. so for testing it , you need real android device.

Android Studio : Get Google Play Services

I want to use Google Maps in my app
But when I run my app I get this error
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone. GET GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
I tried other solutions like installing the google api from SDK Manager but did not work, and still get the same error.
Anyone can help me?

In order to run application that uses Google Play Services, your emulator or device must have Google Play Services installed.
In Android SDK Manager allows you to install emulator system images with preinstalled Google Play Services.
When you have those installed on your system, you can then create emulator that will be able to run your application.
Open AVD Manager and create new emulator. Make sure that you use some of Google API system images.

it looks like your device/emulator don't have gapps isntalled.
Google Play Services is coming with Google apps (called gapps). A great tutorial can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952
By the way, use CM11 gapps link.

run google play store on android emulator

I installed Google play store on my android emulator successfully. But when I try to run Google app it gives "Unfortunately, Google services framework has stopped" error message. I tried to fix it using clear cache of Google play store app, clear data of Google services framework app and restart the device. Also I tried for new emulators. But It didn't work. Does it a matter version of android sdk and Google Services Framework.apk version?
Suggest a way to fix this problem.

Read up on the guide provided by Android here.
Specifically, note:
To test your app when using the Google Play services SDK, you must use
either:
A compatible Android device that runs Android 2.3 or higher and
includes Google Play Store.
The Android emulator with an AVD that runs
the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
As long as you satisfy those requirements, follow the installation instructions provided to install the SDK into your Developer environment.

Any One Help Me to Get Out of This Issue Plz i am trying Since two days But Map is not loading On emulator

You should test your map application on a real device. I would suggest you to test it on a real device.
There is a work around. Drawing from the below link. I have not tested it. But you can give it a try.
http://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=527
Download com.android.vending.apk from
http://www.mediafire.com/download/pxpjfkveemq29qk/com.android.vending.apk
Download com.google.android.gms.apk from
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zn8wna5wf4ek5le/com.google.android.gms.apk
Open eclipse and the AVD Manager and create an AVD with the following configuration:
Start the AVD and wait for it to finish booting, next open you command prompt and install
both apk’s using the “adb install” command. for example:
To install use the following command
adb install com.android.vending.apk
You should receive “SUCCESS” message at the end of the installation process (that may take some time).
When you finish installing both apk files, close the AVD and reopen it. Now you should see a map in your application when you use the AVD instead of this annoying message.
Note : This will work only if you are using google-play-service lib revision #4 in your application (and workspace). If you have already updated google-play-services using the SDK Manager to the latest version (Currently: revision #6) you will receive an error telling you that you that the google-play-services used by your application is too old and needs to be updated:

You need any of the below to test Google Play Services .apk:
A compatible Android device that runs Android 2.2 or higher and
includes Google Play Store.
The Android emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs
platform based on Android 4.2.2 or higher.
Yours is 4.0.3

There's a new emulator called Genymotion that supports play store and google play services

Missing Google Play Services from AVD

I recently started developing for Android, and I have come into trouble when trying to use Google Maps in my app. I downloaded the Google Maps API v2 for Android, and have already performed all the required steps according to Google Developers Site.
My problem is that although the app runs, in the place where the maps should be displayed there is a texts saying that my device is missing Google Play Services.
I have already downloaded the Google Play Services from the SDK, imported the library into my project and also importing the .JAR file.
I am using Netbeans, not Eclipse, so many solutions I have found over the web aren`t useful for me. I hope you can help me with this.

Unfortunately, you can't use the emulator to run apps that use Google Play services. From http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html: "Google Play services is not supported on the Android emulator — to develop using the APIs, you need to provide a development device such as an Android phone or tablet."

From google's own site http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
If you want to test your app on the emulator, expand the directory for
Android 4.2.2 (API 17) or a higher version, select Google APIs, and
install it. Then create a new AVD with Google APIs as the platform
target. Note: Only Android 4.2.2 and higher versions of the Google
APIs platform include Google Play services.

I had this same problem and found solution:
Here are the updated gms and vending files. Same instructions as before: Create a new emulator with any cpu/abi, a non google-api target (versions 10-17 work) and gpu emulation on or off, and then install the files:
adb install com.android.vending-20130716.apk
adb install com.google.android.gms-20130716.apk
If you are upgrading an existing emulator then you might need to uninstall previous versions by:
adb uninstall com.android.vending
adb uninstall com.google.android.gms

Bellow link contains a solution that works with Android 4.2.2 or higher
How to install Google Play Services in Android Emulator
1.1 Start your emulator. Disconnect any other Android device (such as your smartphone) from computer.
1.2 Download these two files
com.android.vending-19032013.apk : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7jfar2v1bzx6v59
com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4o9fz413uavlblf
1.3 Open command console, go to \platform-tools
Install two files above with command
adb install \com.android.vending-19032013.apk
adb install \com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk

Yes, you can use Google maps on emulator. However, it's not officially supported, so takes some work. I had the best success following the info on this link.

I found this, i hope it helps you ;)
Installing Google Play on Android Emulator
Run Google Play Services in your emulator

If anyone is still experiencing this issue, first try to create your emulator with the Google API's as the platform target. After doing so, I noticed that my Google Play Services was not the correct version on the emulator.
While trying to hack together a solution, I stumbled upon the GoogleApiAvailability class here. Google did a phenomenal job handling compatibility issues.
GoogleApiAvailability.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(Context) returns an integer status code, which can be fed directly into getErrorDialog(Activity, errorCode, requestCode) which returns a Dialog that works perfectly right out of the box. If your Play Services are out of date, the dialog will redirect you to an updater... If they are missing, it will redirect you to an installer, etc...
Thought I would share this great feature in case anyone is looking for a fix that would work in production code as well as testing.
