If you sync your Android phone to your Google account, Google needs a unique ID to identify the device. Real phones do have a globally unique IMEI number, but all emulator installations are the same.

Try

((TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE)).getDeviceId();

in a Context and it should always return 0 on the emulator, but a unique key on a real world phone.
