I'm currently developing android application which includes text messaging. Is it possible to send and receive text messages just by using android emulator? If yes, how can I do it?

If you read the emulator documentation, you will see that you can send and receive text messages between the environment within the emulator and the emulator console.
You can emulate sending SMS messages to the Android emulator using either the Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) tool available in Eclipse, or the Telnet client.
This worked for me: Run an emulator and click "More." That's three horizontal dots to the right of the emulator window. Then click "Phone". Now you see your message.
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
It's quite easy:
telnet localhost 5554 (you can find the portnumber in the title of the emulator)sms send senderPhoneNumber textmessage

You can also use two emulators. Open both emulators simultaneously. They will be named emulator-5554 and emulator-5556.
Then from one device, text (555)521-555x, where the last 4 digits are the number from the emulator name. This will allow you to text between both devices.
