This happens when using Android Studio 0.8.1, although I remember having the same problem on 0.6.1 also.
SDK Build Tools are not installed You look at the build tab at the bottom of the screen, it will display the error message and option to install the Build tools. Install it and you should be able to see the AVD Manager. Another way is to go to the SDK Manager. Under SDK Tools you will find the Android SDK Build tools.
Fix is to give yourself root access and change the owner of the /home/shivam/. android folder to your username. Save this answer.
You use the Android Device Manager to create and configure Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) that run in the Android Emulator. Each AVD is an emulator configuration that simulates a physical Android device.
I was also facing the same issue. If you are using android studio, go to file->Invalidate caches/Restart, then click on "Invalidate and restart". It will work fine. :)
