I've tried to implement Google Maps v2 in my Android Application, but unfortunately instead of Maps I can see this message:
This app won't run without Google Play Services, which are missing from your phone along with button "Get Google Play Services".
Before tell me, is this possible to run Google Maps on Android emulator?
Click on the “APIs & auth” menu on the left, and from the submenu select APIs. From the list of APIs that appear, scroll down and ensure that Google Maps Android API v2 is set to “On”.
Yes, you can enable/use Play Store on Android Emulator(AVD): Before that you have to set up some prerequisites: Start Android SDK Manager and select Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image (Recomended: because it will work comparatively faster) of your required android version (For Example: Android 7.1. 1 or API 25)
You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).
You should use an emulator based on SDK version 4.2.2 or higher. Look here for details:

Note: Only Android 4.2.2 and higher versions of the Google APIs platform include Google Play services.
Try Genymotion emulator....It supports location based services.
you can select as the target api as google api.It support maps I have also tried it & it successfully running.
