Android TV emulator with Google APIs

I have an android game in Google Play. Now I'm trying to make it compatible with Android TV. I don't have any of the Android TV hardware. So I'm testing in emulator. I was able to start Android Emulator for Android TV with Android 5.0. My game is using Google Play Games Services. So to test it I need Google APIs in the emulator. But if I try to create an Android TV emulator with Google APIs I see no System images for Android TV with Google APIs.

Is it something that I am missing on my side or the Emulator doesn't support "Android TV with Google API"

Any info in this regard will be helpful.

Edit
I figured out the Android TV system images are having Google APIs by default. But when I run my app (that uses Google Play Services) on the emulator I get the following message in an Alert Dialog

google play services which some of your applications rely on is not supported by your device

Also I saw the following somewhere in the logs. 

google play services not available due to error 9



google play services is invalid. cannot recover"
