As I found in two other SO questions 1 and 2, Make sure to run MediaScanner from dev tools after you push the images to the SD card so the emulator re-scans the SD card for new media.

Running media scanner is simple, all you have to do is

  • Run your android virtual device on the emulator
  • Click on the "Dev Tools" icon in the menu
  • In the list view of settings options, scroll down, click, and launch "Media Scanner"

Goto, windows -> AVD Manager and click Refresh. Now on the emulator, if you click the gallery icon, you get the pictures that you pushed onto your SDCard

If the "Dev Tool" --> "Media Scanner" crash you can run this: 

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

it is faster then a reboot
