This question is edited. This answer for those who have google play account.

If you want to download .apk files directly from Google Play. Check this. Apk downloader is a chrome extension which u can use to direct download .apk from google play on computer. After downloading that .apk

Start your emulator.

Start command prompt, and change your directory to the platform-tools folder of SDK directory. Paste the APK file in the 'android-sdk\tools' or 'platform-tools' folder. Then type the following command.

adb install yourapp.apk

Approach 2 - Download Genymotion and use drag-drop approach on its emulator.

Update - Now you can drag drop .apk on your Andorid emulator.
