I've tried to implement Google Maps v2 in my Android application, but unfortunately instead of maps I get this message:

This app won't run without Google Play services which are missing from your phone.

Is it possible to run these maps on the Android emulator (Platform 4.2)?

At the moment, referencing the Google Android Map API v2 you can't run Google Maps v2 on the Android emulator; you must use a device for your tests.
