    Emulators can be a little unreliable at times. Potentially just a restart of the emulator, a clean or the IDE can resolve these issues sometimes. – Jay Snayder Jul 28 '14 at 19:12

Sometimes the emulator has a lower tolerance for timeouts on Launch than a physical device would have. One thing you could do is try creating a "splash" page that will redirect to the actual home screen of the application to give the emulator time to Launch the main activity.

I had this issue when working on a phonegap application - I'm assuming the same principle might apply.
