Testing Accessibility on Emulated Device (Marshmallow)

I want to test the accessibility of my app in emulator (particularly Talkback) but it seems that the option is missing in emulator. Here is the screen shot from the emulator in accessibility settings:

enter image description here

There are two options "ClockBack" and "QueryBack" which I couldn't find on my phone with the same android version. Here is the screenshot of the accessibility setting of my phone:

enter image description here

I searched to learn about "ClockBack" and "QueryBack" to see if they are replacement of Talkback in emulator but I couldn't find anything.

Does any one know what is the functionality of "ClockBack" and "QueryBack"? And more over how to enable Talkback in emulator?

How do I turn off TalkBack emulator?

Option 1: With the volume key shortcut Learn how to check your Android version. On the side of your device, find both volume keys. Press and hold both volume keys for 3 seconds. To confirm that you want to turn TalkBack on or off, press both volume keys for 3 seconds again.

Can Android Emulator be detected?

There is no official API in iOS or Android to detect an emulator. Therefore, several proprietary checks have to be done by the RASP system.

It seems that the emulator doesn't contain Talkback by default so after downloading "TalkBack" apk and install it on the emulator, the option has been enabled.

Update: It's easier to install the Android Accessibility Suite from the Google Play Store. It will update your Settings->Accessibility menu to include TalkBack as an option.
