You can tell adb which device you want to connect to.
adb -s emulator-5554 install something.apk
(from the host). I am not sure the numbers you gave are the "serial numbers", so check with
adb devices

You can also use -e if there's only one running emulator. Run `adb` at the command line to see this switch described. – David Snabel-Caunt Jul 26 '11 at 10:05

Did you try with the `-e` (`adb -e install something.apk`)? Did you use the correct device ID? Is the emulator _running_? (Otherwise I don't know; I didn't use Xamarin). – Jan Hudec Nov 27 '14 at 09:26

Use -s command line option with the name of emulator device, e.g.
#adb -s emulator-5554 install ...
