Answer 1

I think the emulator sometimes has its own bugs and issues. maybe that's one of them.

try the next things:

• use the latest version of Android for the emulator. also update the ADT & SDK to the latest versions.
• use alternative emulators
• use real devices
• use fake-gps-apps (location mocking) which make the OS think that your device is in some position
• make sure that in the OS settings, mocking of gps locations is enabled
