How to configure the Genymotion emulator to the appium?

Through eclipse I have configured the Genymotion path & also I have downloaded the virtual devices in the Genymotion.

In Appium, those downloaded virtual devices are visible in the"Launch Device" dropdown menu. Then I set the apk path & try to start the Appium 1.3.4.1.

By that time I am getting an error message like

When I try to run with normal emulator in Android SDK it works well. But I want to run it with Genymotion emulator. How to do? I'm stuck up here.

My questions are:

  1. Whether the additional emulator will work in appium windows or not?
  2. What I need to give in the "Argument" field under appium?

The following code works for the above question.

static String deviceName = "Google Nexus 5 - 4.4.4 - API 19 - 1080x1920";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, ExecuteException, IOException {

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

        DefaultExecutor executor = new DefaultExecutor();
        DefaultExecuteResultHandler resultHandler = new DefaultExecuteResultHandler();

        CommandLine launchEmul = new CommandLine("C:/Program Files/Genymobile/Genymotion/player");
        launchEmul.addArgument("--vm-name");
        launchEmul.addArgument("\""+deviceName+"\"");
        executor.setExitValue(1);
        executor.execute(launchEmul, resultHandler);
        Thread.sleep(40);

        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Google Nexus 5 - 4.4.4 API 19 - 1080x1920");   
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.3");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("app","D:/SOFTWARES/Apks/GOA.apk");

        driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),capabilities);
        System.out.println("SetUp is successful and Appium Driver is launched successfully");

    }
