You can interact with an emulator instance through its shell.

  1. Start emulator.
  2. From terminal run telnet localhost 5554, you are now in emulator shell.
  3. Type help,it will show available commands , like faking a call, sms, battery etc.
  4. To know more about a command type help <command name>.
  5. Type help geo, it will print available location commands.
  6. Try geo fix 1 1 .
  7. Try more with other latitude and longitude values.

You need to set the latitude and longitude in case of emulator because emulator do not have gps detection hardrware to get current location.

telnet localhost 5554
geo fix <longitude value> <latitude value> For ex: geo fix 68.54546 37.5117579

You can fake GPS location data on emulator using DDMS which is explained here: http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html#ops-location and here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html#MockData.
