How to run Google Map API V2 on Android emulator

Question

I've tried to implement Google Maps v2 in my Android Application, but unfortunately instead of Maps I can see this message:

This app won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone along with button "Get Google Play Services".

Before tell me, is this possible to run Google Maps on Android emulator?

thanks Aravinth, but how to install google play services in emulator, i have successfully install com.google.gms.apk and com.google.vendig.apk on emulator, but it will not work. — Nilesh Sasane, Aug 27 '13 at 07:24

You should use an emulator based on SDK version 4.2.2 or higher. Look here for details:

Note: Only Android 4.2.2 and higher versions of the Google APIs platform include Google Play services.

Same with me, my PC too does not support Genymotion.So i can not test google maps on my android emulator. I have to use my phone instead. – Rishabh Srivastava Aug 27 '13 at 07:45
